Liez's grin widened. "It's where all the major players gather. Influence, power, wealth—it's all there. You've impressed the right people, Pyris, and now they want you."
Alera and Aurelia exchanged glances, both of them sensing the weight of this new development. Pyris was already a rising star in Argos, but The Legacy would place him even closer to the heart of power.
"When's the first meeting?" Pyris asked, his mind already calculating the opportunities this would open.
"Tonight," Liez said, leaning in closer once again, her breath warm against his ear. "I'll be there too. It'll be… interesting."
Pyris nodded, keeping his expression unreadable. "I'll consider it."
Liez chuckled softly, pulling back and giving him one last teasing glance before she turned to leave. "Don't be late, Pyris. You wouldn't want to miss what's in store."
As Liez disappeared into the crowd, Aurelia sighed. It's dangerous, Pyris. Be careful."
