After getting the good news from Winter, it took a while for Ace to calm his emotions down. If he could, he wanted to talk with Alina himself, but house call was only limited and exclusive to the Thief House members.
Nevertheless, since Winter had performed her mission and Alina was no longer at risk of getting executed, he could be at ease.

'Since Freya had spread the rumors of humans getting the entire secret realm inheritance and the entire secret realm. So, not only the continent but this entire entourage is a target now. But this is also an opportunity for us as a whole…' Ace's mind raced as multiple new possibilities opened up.
