"How long do you think that guy will take to come here?" In the hideout of the northern tribes, one of the men spoke.

"We don't even know if he's going to come or not." The second man said.

"We'll wait for two days more. If he doesn't come by then, we'll tell the elders. No use in wasting time on him. We have other assets to make use of anyway." The man who seemed to be the leader, stated.

"Yeah! Besides, our deal was with his mother, not him. We are already doing a favor to him by staying here this long. The council is going to act soon. We need to prepare for their smooth passage." A female tribe member spoke this time.

"The passage should be fine. We only need to do a final check, which we'll do by default if that prince keeps up. Once he's paid the cost and crossed over, our duty here will be done, too. Soon, our people will have the debt repaid." Another man spoke.

"Kaja, go and watch out for the signal. It will be night time soon. Who knows if that prince will even follow instructions or not. He might light it early." The leader of the group spoke.

"Alright." The man named Kaja said and left through a small opening at the edge of their hideout.

The top of it was covered with snow, making it impossible to see the opening with naked eyes.

Unknown to them, a man was currently listening to all that was being spoke about. Lin Mu appeared some distance away from there and continued observing. The man named Kaja climbed up on top of a tree and kept his gaze locked towards the direction where the prince was supposed to be.

While it was still autumn, the temperature this far north was always like that of winter. The snow here was every present and the northern tribesmen easily hid taking advantage of it.

They wore thick beast furs that were either naturally white, or were dyed white. This made it simply to hide within the snow. Kaja couldn't even be seen on top of the tree. He laid on a branch such that, there seemed to only be a pile of snow accumulated on it.
