"No, boy. We cannot risk such recklessness. Killing them would bring the wrath of both the Hail and Vale families. Do you think they will ignore the sudden disappearance of one of their own?" Father Teralis asked with a raised eyebrow.
The gathered elite murmured in agreement, quickly giving the priest their support. The only thing worse than Sirina and Sol's arrival was the involvement of the legendary Hail family.
"They're outsiders, If we move quickly, we can make it look like an accident." Iorath countered, his frustration boiling over.
Erynn placed a hand on his arm, silencing him quickly. She could already tell that the priest was getting impatient with him.
"The priest is right," Erynn said, her voice calm. "We cannot afford to draw attention to Somnallis. Not now."
Everyone nodded in agreement, they quickly turned their backs on Iorath.
