Hearing Fang Hao's words, Rolana's finely arched eyebrows knit together.
She withdrew her hand that had reached into her collar and asked, "What's wrong with Rebecca?"
Fang Hao explained, "Rebecca plans to attack Giant Claw Island to solidify her position within the Federation. Some complications arose along the way, and she needs my forces to help resolve them."
Rolana was well aware of Rebecca's dealings in the council.
Just by bringing it up, she too understood the general situation.
She nodded and said, "Very well! I'll take care of things here while you're gone, but tonight I'm going to visit her in Lyss City and will return tomorrow morning," Rolana continued.
"Eh? You're leaving tonight?" Fang Hao took her hand and caressed it.
Rolana yawned, glanced at the dusky sky outside the window, and said, "You still have time before it gets dark."
"Damn, you heartless woman."
...
The evening's twilight streamed into the room.
