"Leader Skye, you're not sure if Leader Cain will return either. The wise know how to adapt to circumstances. With Lord Xander's power and influence, following him would allow us to grow faster."
"Even if Leader Cain returns and takes first place, without any backing, could he stand up to Lord Xander's brother?"
Cain recognized the voice of the one who had first questioned his loyalty.
