60: Not Safe out here - Part 1

Elias followed Lady Selene and Prince Aedric as they strolled through the bustling marketplace, his senses on high alert. The message from his system warning him of a pursuer had left him uneasy, but neither of his companions seemed outwardly concerned.

Lady Selene appeared calm, her usual elegance unshaken, while Prince Aedric wore a casual smirk, clearly amused by the light-hearted atmosphere of the outing.

Yet Elias knew better.

He kept his gaze down, pretending to be interested in the vibrant stalls of merchants peddling jewelry, fine silks, and exotic spices, but his mind remained focused on the danger lurking nearby.
