With that thought, Raine alighted from the car and approached Torak, who was busy talking to Lyrus. From their serious expressions, Raine could see how much trouble that they had to face right now.
To Raine's relief, the two of them only glanced at her way when they realized that she was coming to join the conversation, but then continued their discussion, letting her hear whatever it was.
"…the king will come in an hour or so," Lyrus said. The first sentence that Raine could hear the moment she stood beside Torak.
"What happened to the castle? What about… the people…" Raine couldn't bring herself to ask about Raphael, Calleb, Lana and many other people whom she had grown to love.
It would bring tears back to her eyes and the last thing that Raine wanted to do now was to cry her heart out like a weakling.
It was not the correct time for that, she would make time to mourn for every single grievance she had been feeling, but not now.
