Partners in Crisis

With the annual winter ball over their head, Alora was aware of how crucial it was to find the solution to the treason. 

Alora spoke to Arihan once Marcus departed. "We don't have much time." Seven days was too less to dismantle a large network across Anka.

Arihan agreed with a nod, "We shouldn't alert anybody in the palace. There could be a spy."

"Agreed." Alora agreed with that. If Agost and Crisal had managed to form such a large network, they could easily implant a spy in the palace. And if a word about it spreads in the palace, it will be the same as letting the whole Anka know about it.

"We can't do this alone." Not only they don't have time, but they can't leave the palace as it will alert the intermediaries. "We should get the help of somebody who they wouldn't think of I approach." Alora gave it a thought.
