— Inside Veria City

Zen's knights went through each house, using their keen senses to find any hidden elves. She hid their purpose and gathered all the males in the town square. Then making them stand together while she hid her knights on the rooftops with their bows fully drawn.

"Greetings, Former Chamberlain Vembrant Sufrim. I am Zen Tal'goth, Knight Captain of the Royal knights."

She stood, looking downwards at this male elf, his ears shorter than normal. A sign of his mixed blood. However, Queen Velaria accepted those who weren't pure. Welcomed them with open arms, only for scum like this to betray her.

Suddenly, after hearing her rank and name. His face turned from a fearful one into delight. He felt certain the queen didn't learn of his rebellion. Before this happened, he asked for extended leave, caring for his sick wife for a reason. It was a well-known fact that Vembrant's wife was human. Thus, Velaria granted him leave, wishing his wife well.
