Rebecca really didn't want to enrage Dordy here.
Continuing, she said, "What if I could produce proof?"
"Produce the evidence, and all the merits I promised you before will be valid," Dordy replied.
"Alright," Rebecca nodded, slightly tilting her head, "Open the gift and show it to everyone."
Aseti stepped forward and pulled the cloth cover off the gift box in his hands.
Facing the crowd below, he pulled open the front wooden panel.
Whoosh!
In an instant, everyone's facial expressions changed simultaneously.
In the box was a head with strange features, including gills typical of the Sea Tribe.
The crowd below started discussing again.
"Whose head is this?"
"What can a single head represent?"
"How did she bring it in? Don't the guards care?"
Rebecca looked at Dordy and said, "Others might not recognize him, but Dordy, you should, right? Tell everyone who it is and see if that proves my words."
Dordy's eyes were filled with surprise and confusion.
