After the decision to wait, Seth remained with Molly and Cain in Necros’s hideout.
The situation inside the kingdom ended up as everyone expected. The incidents were becoming more frequent, putting more pressure on King Lian, and Iris’s departure made everyone much more uneasy.
The Capital was slowly falling apart, and the stopgap method of locking up any troublemaker was not helping. Soon, the dungeon was also filled with people, making Lian have no choice but to cancel his curfew orders.
It was not all bad since he had started to calm down without Seth’s perception muddling his head. Realizing he was slowly losing his grip over the kingdom and might have already lost Iris, Lian eventually started making changes.
He went into the prison and promised everyone a hefty reward for helping to calm the masses. With Seth filling the kingdom’s coffers before he departed from Oath, he had a lot of gold to work with, and nothing worked better in changing minds than gold.
