Too Much Of A Risk

Hearing out the Commander, Vice-Captain Rewyn briefly glanced at the tattoo before he attempted to break free his hand from the Commander's grip but to no avail. Then with a smirk on her face, Eloria let go of the hand and the Black Guards immediately tied it to the chair again.

"Does this mean you already know that he is a spy?" Andry finally broke his silence as he could not hold his curiosity anymore. "And you still let him come with us?"

"Commander only noticed the tattoo on his wrist on our way to Emerido," Vicus chimed in. "She told me to keep an eye on him and I had been doing that." He slightly narrowed his eyes as he continued, "I also did that earlier but His Highness suddenly rushed forward..." His voice trailed off and he could not continue anymore. As a former Black Guard, it was evident that he felt guilty over the incident. After all, he spent so many years in training just so that he could protect the Crown Prince.
