As Envoy Calis stepped outside, he cast a quick glance back at the house before meeting Aedric's eye. They stood in silence for a moment, each reflecting on the exchange that had just taken place.

Calis's jaw tightened slightly as he thought it over. He had come here expecting a simple task, assuming that if anyone made the situation challenging, it would be the Prince-not Lady Fiona After all, she was from the outside world and, by all accounts, more concerned with healing than politics. But he'd been wrong: Lady Fiona wasn't just another noble out of her depth. She had made it very clear that she was no easy target,

Aedric broke the silence, clearing his throat and looking uneasy. "What now, Calis? She didn't exactly welcome us

Calis shook his head, casting a look over the bustling village. "We're here to help, Ardric, so that's what we'll do. This village has needs, and Lady Fiona's made it clear she expects us to contribute."

Aedric's brow furrowed as he scanned the crowd. "But there are too many villagers here. Helping all of them. it's impractical"

Calis narrowed his eyes at Aedric, irritation sparking beneath his calm exterior. "Did you think our job was to sit around and merely observe. Aedric! Or did you think this assignment was simply a formality?"

If she decides otherwise, this attitude will shift overnight, and we'll be the outsiders. Is that something you want?"

Aedric's frown deepened, his mouth tightening "But why should I have to dirty my hands with this? We're Beta-blooded. We aren't supposed to be working for Omegas,"
