Lothar finished, "Right now, the priority is to get help for Ciril. I've sent for Abel Loggins from the capital —he'll be here soon."

Paula's fingers twitched at Lothar's threat, her expression unnatural as she sneaked a look at Yed.

Yed nodded at her in turn, assuring her to stay calm since they would never be exposed.
