Beside him, Aleron looked just as surprised. He even paused in his steps for a moment before staring at Tauriel with an expression of disbelief. "Wait a minute. How do you know all this, Lady Tauriel?" he asked directly, his tone filled with confusion and suspicion.
Tauriel stopped walking and turned to Aleron, curling her lips into a small smile. "Hehe… take a guess," she replied mysteriously.
Aleron was silent for a moment, deep in thought. But it only took him a few seconds before his eyes widened, as if he had just realized something shocking. "Don't tell me… you've already joined the Dominion?" he exclaimed, his voice slightly rising in surprise.
"Is that true?" Lein also asked, wanting to confirm his suspicion.
Instead of answering immediately, Tauriel chuckled softly, enjoying Aleron's surprised expression. Her eyes gleamed, showing satisfaction at how slow the man was to realize something she thought was quite obvious.
