Even his thought process incorporated some of Brand's cleverness.
This feeling was great.
He took out the black ebony Stone Golem Statue, which now had a small crack.
He turned around and said, "You all must also make preparations. Frey, turn your ring around; the Flame Agate in the middle is too conspicuous. Little Roman, keep your short sword close to your body; those lazy guards won't search too carefully."
"Should I turn my ring around too?"
"No, no one would bother with that broken ring of yours."
"Brand, those people are city guards! Why do you seem so... distrustful of them?" Frey couldn't help but ask.
"It's not a matter of seeming distrustful; I've never trusted them. You'll understand when the time comes. For now, just do as I say."
Frey had never been in the city but felt somewhat that Brand was making a fuss over nothing. Still, Brand was the authority, and she had to trust him.
