The long line of carriages and carts stopped on the square in front of the government building. Arlanga had brought only a hundred guards and mercenaries when he left, but he brought back many more this time. He also was accompanied by hundreds of soldiers from Maho Empire.
A lot of guards and soldiers were bloodied, and Arlanga was injured. Clearly, the trip back had not been an easy one.
Arlanga jumped off of his horse and hurried over to Anfey, bowing. Alice frowned when she saw him. She did not like men with no backbone. A man like Arlanga could betray his former allies and was capable of more betrayals in the future. Men like Arlanga were not trustworthy.

"It’s true," Anfey said. "Why?"
"That means he must be of able mind," Alice said. "I don’t understand. Why is he doing this? Who is he acting for?"
