Two days later, Ezekiel, the leader of the Bloodshadow Pavilion, received a reply from the caretaker of the Bright Peace Safehouse. The message, delivered swiftly by a skilled courier adept in lightfoot techniques, confirmed the success of the operation's first stage.
The Letter Read:
"The girl is in our care.
Occasionally, she refuses to eat, but threatening her with her brother's death compels her compliance.
Per your instructions, we will prepare to transport her carefully."
The instructions to move Elise from Bright Peace to The Central Plains were clear.
These safehouses were designed specifically for the Bloodshadow Pavilion's covert operations, granting Ezekiel full authority over their use and management.
"Good," Ezekiel said with a sharp grin. "She'll be transported here soon."
