The masked men froze. Even they had heard of Azure’s fame, and rumors said that their president was a young lady named Elspeth.

“That’s me. I’m Elspeth.”

The masked man paled. “Y-You’re Elspeth?”

“Yes. Now you know I can afford the ransom.” Elspeth looked at the masked man with fury in her eyes.

Elspeth forgave the masked man on Elias’ behalf, though he would be locked in his room for three days and subjected to constant surveillance.
