"Unless my spies have suddenly lost their eyes, every word on the missive is true," Raziel said. "Prince Reitan and Orion Elsher are both safe in Nedour, under Princess Nessa's protection. Or at least they were when this report was written."
"You mean they might not be now?" Soleia demanded anxiously. "What happened to them?"
"I did not say that," Raziel replied calmly, a sharp contrast to Soleia's frantic voice. "But I urge you to think of ways to ensure their continued safety. After all, there's nothing stopping Nedour's current queen from escorting Prince Reitan back to Vramid as an extension of goodwill."
Soleia's entire body shook, and she felt her knees weaken. Ralph quickly supported her before she could fall. The rollercoaster of emotions was simply too strong for her to endure without warning.
