“Why didn’t you start with that?” I sat up as soon as Prince Edward mentioned Eliana.


    He raised his hands, chuckling lightly. “It’s not as bad as it sounds.”


    “You said Eliana is in danger!”@@@@


    “I said that I believe she is in danger.” He responded. “She believes that she is safe.”


    I frowned, glaring at him.


    “Perhaps I should explain myself. You may be aware of this, but now that the Osterians left the Ost Republic, there is a bit of a power vacuum down there. The humans of the Ost Republic existed alongside, or perhaps even subservient to the Osterians. When the majority of them up and left, the humans were at a bit of a loss how this country was to continue. It was built on the premise of coexistence between all races. Although the population is mostly human and Osterian, there are also some demons down there, dwarves, as well as a species you may not have heard of named the Fae.”


    “And?”


    “There has currently been ongoing trouble on the cost.” He responded. “Ships have been getting attacked at an alarming rate. This is why I couldn’t send you aid. My forces have been sent east to help protect our borders. However, with the loss of the Osterians, the Ost Republic no longer can reinforce the coast.”


    “Get on with it!” He seemed to be dragging it out quite a bit.


    “Eliana has agreed to preside over a peace summit. She wants to unite the Ost Republic. The other groups in the Ost Republic would only agree to meet if it was in a neutral location outside of the Ost Republic.”


    I narrowed my eyes. “What neutral location?”


    “The Tearfall Isles.” He sighed. “They want to meet in a dungeon of all places.”
