Knowing about Annara's imprisonment, King Alduin continued on with his defense, stating it was an act of discrimination. Afterall, while rare, it was not uncommon for deaths to occur during such tournament duels.
The King further emphasized his argument by saying such outcome would not be imposed on humans, and the only reason the Alliance was able to put her into custody was because she did not have a major faction backing her.
The Alliance didn't even have any concrete evidence to link Annara and the massacres apart from the coincidental timing.
The King reminded all of these things to Emery, as he was the only one who was allowed to see the imprisoned girl.
Walking out of the meeting room, Emery followed a magus enforcer that led him towards a building only a hundred meters from the headquarters.
It was the place where Annara was being held – the Magus Alliance Prison, Golden City Branch.
