After weeks of trying and failing, then trying again, Snow finally managed to infiltrate the highest level of the capital of Aedrider. It took many long nights of scouting and days of lost sleep in order to finally make it there.
Things would have been much simpler if Lady Corva decided to simply make her way to the capital alone. They would have let her and her retainers into the palace at the highest level of the mountain city with no issue.
Despite how easy it would have been for her to do that, Snow understood why. There was currently no way for Lady Corva to visit the capital without being forced to pick a side in the succession. Currently, among Corva's siblings, they were split equally between the two sisters, Letheya and Ayalla. Corva could upset the balance, but that would put her in danger.
