Chapter 811: Safety is the Priority
"Where is Riley? Why hasn’t he returned here once?" Zion inquired.
[They were not informed?!]
The magician was wide-eyed at Zion’s question.
"My apologies, we thought you were aware. He was suddenly summoned by His Eminence. He was assigned to go to Marquess Heron’s estate. We haven’t received a word from him since," the magician reported.
Zion and Arabella frowned deeply at that, feeling more sense of dread.
"This seems to be bigger than we originally thought since he even summoned Riley who was supposed to be leading the search party.
Alwin didn’t like things not going according to plan so he would not change things without notice unless it’s an emergency," Zion concluded.
"Indeed. Alwin would have notified everyone first but he didn’t," Arabella agreed with Zion’s thoughts.
The plan was decided through a meeting with most of the attendees being Alwin’s elders. He would not disrespect them by randomly deciding to change a plan they had all agreed upon in advance.
Unless, the circumstances called for it and it was his last resort to change the plans even without prior notice.
"Inform everyone still searching for Prudencians to be more cautious. If there’s a signal to withdraw, return here immediately. Things may have gotten dangerous so be extra careful and prioritize your safety," Zion instructed.
