"So what are you planning to do?"
"…What do you suggest I do?"
Kael sought his mentor's guidance. Veylara paused for a moment and started thinking.
"You pointed out the existence of the traitor at the meeting today. Whoever he is, he must be on edge right now. It wouldn't be surprising if he came after you.
In the Vision, you were sold as a slave but I cannot see that happen in any of the scenarios unless…"
"Unless…?"
Kael raised his eyebrow.
"Unless the King takes an action, just like he did with Lavinia."
Kael narrowed his eyes and Veylara continued,
"Maybe the traitor somehow proved that you, the Hero, were a corrupted human. Maybe sending you away as a slave was the King's way to protect you and give you time to grow. Maybe he sent you where Lavinia was so the two of you could ally together while he deals with the enemies on his own."
"…I can see the King doing that."
Kael nodded.
The King was an exceptionally good tactician; Kael saw it with his own eyes.
