It was the juiciest gossip the people of Lamonia had heard in a long while.
"What happened here?" A couple of lean men wearing the uniform of the city guards cut through the thick crowd.
Their spears were strapped to their backs, a cup of hot tea in their right hand and a still-steaming cream puff in the other.
"Now you come? When everything is over?" Frynn snarled in righteous fury, but behind the safety of Lith's back.
"We have been…" The oldest man of the two looked embarrassed and wanted to make an excuse, but the powdered sugar on his moustaches and lapels couldn't lie. "Delayed. What's with this bloodbath?"
"Yeah, sure." Lith had no desire to argue. "Supreme Magus Verhen. I caught these guys trying to kidnap the young lady here and intervened. They resisted arrest and assaulted me."
A mocking expression was forming on the faces of the guards when Lith took his ID and extra eyes out, handing the former to the senior officer.
