Elinor Jotun had been enjoying her time with her husband when they were approached by a guest quite suddenly. Although she did not know the guest personally, she recognized his uniform immediately. It was someone from the Henali court.
She immediately stepped aside, allowing the guest to pass something to the emperor while she blocked her senses from detecting anything that was confidential. But it turned out to be an epistle.
"Call my brothers," Jotun said to her via his spirit sense, speaking directly into her mind. "There's a situation."
"Is… is everything alright?" she asked hesitantly. Despite being his wife, there were too many things she was not allowed to know.
"I'm not sure," he responded, his voice becoming monotone. "Once you call them, leave the Inn. I'll let you know if you should come back."
"I understand," she said before hurrying out.
Soon all the Sephore brothers were gathered in a room, awaiting their elder brother's instruction.
