"L-Leon, I'm sorry," Shan trembled. 

Most of Orlin's troops were already lying on the ground, some were in Mat's custody. Their strength had been drained enough against Rhys' army earlier, making the Rogues that Mat had brought easily conquer. 

Leon saw that the situation outside had changed one hundred and eighty degrees, not expecting them to be taken down so easily. His eyes shook seeing the helpless bodies there. 

"Let him go," Gretta said looking at Mat with a flat gaze. 

"Hmm? Let go? Okay!" Mat released Shan, but instead of letting her go and giving her to Leon or Gretta, he gave her to Tony who was standing next to him. "I've let her go," said Mat. 

Gretta looked at Shan, then turned to look at Tony who was now smiling triumphantly at her. "You're too quick to celebrate a victory smile before you know the outcome," Gretta muttered.
