"Did something happen in White Sand City?" Lani asked, clearly concerned.
"This subordinate doesn't know," the male replied, shaking his head. "The messenger refused to explain. He only said he needed to speak with the City Lord personally."
Lani turned to Nina. "We should meet with him. If they sent someone all the way here, it's unlikely to be a minor matter."
Nina nodded. "Alright, let's do it."
"Take us to him," Lani instructed right away.
The male immediately led them to the beastman who had come seeking aid.
When the visitor saw Nina and the masked Lex approaching alongside Lani, confusion flashed across his face.
Why was there a female here? And why was the other male wearing a mask?
He recognized Lani immediately.
"Former City Lord Lani," he greeted respectfully. "Where is your current City Lord?"
Lani gestured toward Lex.
"The current City Lord is standing right beside me. Whatever you need to say, say it to him."
The beastman stared at Lex in surprise.
