Chapter 146: The open invitation.

Roland and Jesting stood outside for a moment, listening to the Thorin’s interacting. Their topics of conversation held no boundaries or shame.

"So, they gossip too." Jesting noted.

"Uh-huh." Roland nodded. "The Thorin’s are perhaps the most unique family in Eldoria. My wife prefers to call their conversations about other people an information trading and assessment session."

Jesting snorted, he nearly laughed but stopped himself short.

Roland strolled into the room with his automatic princely welcoming smile on his face. His arrival was timed with the announcement that his father-in-law had brought along four peacocks.

General Paxton sent Roland a challenging gaze, daring him to say something about the peacocks.

"I hope they don’t drown in the sea." Roland widened his fake smile. His words were not absent of sarcasm.

"Is that a threat?" General Paxton smiled dangerously.

Roland took a seat, respond in a cryptic way, "Many things fall off the cliffs of Stormwind and are never seen again. It’s like the birds which dropped gold on your estate, a myth. It happens but nobody knows how."

General Paxton nearly bit his tongue, he calmed himself and retorted, "However will we solve that mystery?"

Iryne decided that they had all had enough of the veiled threats which were unnecessary. "Roland dear, it was so nice of you to invite us to Stormwind. It is so exciting to see the impressive grounds in person. There is so much greenery and fresh air."

General Paxton released another unimpressed snort. "I prefer cobblestones and...."
