Melinda's voice echoed throughout the whole Arena, bouncing on the walls. Everyone in the Arena had heard what she had just said, and that was on purpose.
Melinda had obviously known that Aiden hadn't yet had the time to announce to Maelis and Emma his departure, so she decided that she would do it in his place.
She didn't think that he would be mad, especially since she was helping him a lot right now.
She had basically saved him from certain death, since Sylas would have killed him without Aiden even reacting.
"Not part of a middle-level family anymore?" mumbled Sylas, as his dagger and Melinda's fan were still at a stand-off.
That stand-off was also really close to Aiden's neck, and it wasn't the most pleasant situation on his side.
Still, he didn't mind it as the conversation was happening right in front of him only centimeters away from him.
