That night, a few people met us in Lilith and my private room. Aurora, Lily, and Donkor. This was supposed to be a quick meeting to discuss the details of saving Arlo. I made sure to surround the room with a sound barrier, and the spies that were watching us tonight were Alden, Avion, and Buford, so we didn't have to worry about any eavesdropping.
"Lord Smarus, your idea is one of the riskiest things you have ever thought of," Aurora shared.
"I agree. Even if it is successful, wouldn't King Malik just push the blame on you?" Donkor added. "We'll also need your help to escape without a trace, so your absence would make you even more suspicious."
They were both right. This plan started from Lilith's emotional distress, so its foundation was already faulty. However, I only mentioned this idea because I believed in my clan members' abilities. Lily wasn't contributing to the conversation at all. She was just sitting on my lap and hugging me.
