In the VIP section of the Northern Wind Spire Coliseum, Griffo returned to his place beside Alden. Leaning slightly closer, he whispered in a hushed tone that only Alden could catch, "The item has been delivered, my lord."
Alden's lips curled into a faint, almost imperceptible smirk, his golden eyes glinting momentarily with satisfaction. He didn't reply verbally but nodded ever so slightly in acknowledgment.
Unbeknownst to them, seated a few rows away, Kael Dragonyx caught the subtle exchange. His sharp, seasoned gaze flicked to them for a fleeting moment, his expression unchanging, yet his thoughts now burdened with suspicion. Satisfied that nothing appeared out of the ordinary to the casual observer, Kael redirected his attention back to the arena.
