Chapter 175
The Ork glanced around the lobby and noticed us, then walked in our direction.
The Watchers followed her.
Hanna reached our table, bowed, and greeted us, "Good morning, Your Excellency, Pokh’Orra."
The Elf nodded.
"Sup," I greeted back, looking at the group of Watchers. "What’s with them?"
The Ork hesitated for a second. "First of all, I apologize for being so late. I was scouting the area for any... unsavory individual considering yesterday’s affair when a group of Watchers noticed me."
My eyebrows went up. "Okay..."
One of the Watchers, an Urkila Tigea, stepped forward and saluted. "Good morning, Your Excellency. Hanna Intarr was seen deactivating invisibility and walking into a crowd. I apologize for repeating information you must already know, but it’s illegal to use skills that allow the user to turn invisible after certain hours. The Law permits such an act only between late evening and early morning. Since she was caught doing so outside the legal schedule, we are to issue a warning and a fine. Hanna, however, claimed she was doing so as part of activities related to a Protector."
I nodded and turned to Hanna. "How did they catch you?"
The Ork frowned. "There’s a pylon nearby," she explained. "I was focused on other matters and didn’t give them too much attention. I assumed they were patrolling the area with a similar purpose as mine."
Well... you done fucked up, I thought with a smile, then turned to the Watcher. "I’m sure you’ve heard some people tried to kill me."
