Chapter Twenty-two (5)

In the face of this failure, three men met in the cover of night, outside the capital in a small shack. When they all arrived, they but glanced at each other before sitting.

"How do we report this failure?" one of them asked.

"We should have known it would not work the moment she caught me during Queen Lilith's execution. She had warned that we not try anything." another said.

"That incident, in my report I stated clearly, that she must have been the one that helped us enter Thriegor. That means she must have known our every move from the first step. But of course, the council did not care." the other supported.

"Not only did she help us enter, she probably helps everyone enter Thriegor. That is how she must be keeping tabs on who enters and why. Everyone in this world is moving at her mercy." the other said. One of them looked at the two talking, with a frown. His frown deepened at his companion's next words.
