"Though I would have preferred not to ask this question so soon, I don't think my mind would be at rest unless I do," Patriarch Rylan asked, his expression becoming firmer as he continued, "So, Mr. Orion, can we please know the decision you have taken on whether we are allowed to settle down in the City?"
Orion observed Patriarch Rylan and couldn't help but nod his head admirably. He had seen Patriarch Rylan's expression filled with shock and utter astonishment before quickly recovering his composure. Meanwhile, the others besides him and those behind him didn't seem like they would be recovering from their shock anytime soon.
"Although we hadn't expected such a huge entrance during your arrival, along with your attackers who seemed to have been secretly following you, considering that we have been expecting your arrival and the fact that you no longer have anywhere to go, I think that I can find a place for you within my City," Orion replied with a smile.
