Zicheng had his hand on his blade, ready to attack if needed. But as soon as he saw who it was, he lowered his defenses.
"It's you! What are you doing here?" He asked as he lowered his voice, in fear that someone might hear him.
"Lord Wu, I have a message for you," the man said as he beckoned Zicheng to come nearer.
"Seth, isn't it dangerous for you to be here?" Zicheng asked as he got behind the tree with him.
Seth was the man who saved him from certain doom. He was in his debt.
"No need to worry, Lord Wu," Seth reassured him.
After listening to the message, things became a little clearer for Zicheng. He hardened his heart as he let out a sigh.
"Very well, if that's what she wants, there's nothing more for me to say." He lamented.
The next day, Zicheng sought an audience with King Krayden. He thanked the king for his hospitality and expressed his desire to leave.
"Have you spoken to her?" Krayden asked.
