"By the way, there’s something I think you should know." Hesitating for a moment, he said, "I’m not sure of the significance of it, but a delegation from Providence Region will be arriving in the area today."
"Providence Region?"
"It’s essentially the imperial province of the empire. Ah, it should be the area where you grew up. Lahn’s located in its southwestern region."
"What sort of delegation is it?"
"It’s...from the church. A high-ranking bishop is doing a tour throughout the kingdom, and today he’ll be arriving in our city along with his retinue."

You must leave! Take the food, take the water"—he tore off his robes and shoved them into Alistar’s arms, modesty being the furthest thing from his mind—"and take everything that wasn’t here before. Hurry!"
"There’s still time before they arrive."
"How do you know they haven’t already sent someone to watch this area?"
"I didn’t sense anyone on my way here."
