It has returned

Sofosys' POV

"It is getting too risky now, you have to understand. We can no longer afford to keep Magnus here. The inhabitants of the island are getting restless and they are demanding answers. Tell me, how will I pacify them if I don't take any actions?" The Queen looked pissed as she sat on the edge of her chair, fiddling with a loose strand of curl that had escaped her bun. 

I didn't know how to explain, but I felt it was in the best interest of everyone that Magnus remain in this island. Maybe, I didn't want him to return to Mafhaelore, where he would have a greater chance of escape. Maybe it think myself capable enough to contain him longer so that I can demand answers. However, convincing the Queen seemed impossible.
