"Nobody comes to the black market and does not pay the entrance fee." After the guard that cut the finger said this. Two more people arrived from the side and throw out the so-called lord.
All the people in line were warned to behave and some of them even left. But Ralph and Niya kept on standing in line. The workings of the guards were fast. Soon their turn came.
"Purpose?"
"Meeting with Reena."
If they were not in such a serious situation, Niya would have found Ralph and the guard's expression to be shocked at the same time quite funny.
Although the guards were a bit shocked, they did not question Niya on her reason as to why she wanted to visit Reena. They simply took the entrance fee from her and Ralph and let them in.
Niya knew that Ralph must have a lot of questions in mind for her. But she also knew that this was not the right place or time to talk about it.
