"Where do you live?" he asked, his back still turned.
"In the third wall, inside the third wall on the far west. There's a mansion there built to welcome representatives like us," Eve replied.
"There are more of you?" Alen exclaimed, surprised. He turned around, his face displaying a shocked expression. "Why? What's going on?" he asked.
"There's a meeting happening three days from now. It will involve representatives from all the kingdoms. There's an important discussion to be had," Eve explained, hesitant to reveal more details.
"Just tell me everything," Alen demanded.
