Ultimatum

Raegan let go of the cape, turning around. The gash in the cape was rather evident, but a part of him wore the only damage done to him with a bit of pride and a bit of precaution to himself.

He would have to see to the replacement of the cape.

Despite telling himself that he should have captured them first before trying to test them, it looked like his damnable curiosity had gotten in the way again.

Yet, his instincts told him that they had nothing to do with Lucielle.

In any case, he simply had to wait for her to regain consciousness before he extracted information from her.

She was not harmed unduly, with her lack of experience and her rashness of heading out to the field without any preparations.

This would be a lesson to her.

And to him.

The guards that were guarding his unconscious daughter looked at the hole in the family head's cape like they'd seen a ghost.
