When they entered the drawing room, Lady Cirila was already waiting.
"Mother," Kael greeted.
"Kael. Riley." Her eyes softened when she looked at the human aide. "I hope you're feeling better."
Riley immediately bowed, thanked her for her concern, and then finally asked if there was anything he could help with.
"You don't need to focus on this right now. Just focus on getting better, child. We just wanted to know how you plan on dealing with this because Kael was adamant about taking your opinion on the matter."
"Huh?" Riley was surprised and looked over at Kael only to see him with the same expressionless face.
"You see, the situation at the ministry has escalated. The Elves have stormed the MBE."
Riley froze. "They what?"
"They arrived in force, demanding the release of their detained kin. Some citizens were even claiming illegal imprisonment."
Riley blinked, his brain lagging. "Wait, my lady—illegal imprisonment? Them? Of all people?"
