Black Box Punishment

Lucivar was cuffed and brought away by the guards in front of the onlookers.

He didn't retaliate and let himself be brought away.

Despite his situation, he kept his expression stoic without any emotion.

As he passed Leandra, he didn't turn towards her but he heard a light whisper from her.

"Give the signal if you're in trouble..."

Upon hearing this, Lucivar snorted and didn't put her words in mind.

It made sense for him to rely on her or the others for help if he was in trouble—but he would be damned if he trust them to help him. Although they were capable, more capable than the hunters here, he rather rely on himself.

He trusted himself more than he trusted them.

Leandra stayed silent as she pressed her back against the wall, letting the guards pass.

As opposed to only taking Lucivar, Blane was also taken away.

It would be too unfair if Blane was let off the hook.
