«First of all, let's talk about it around a table,» Alexander says. «Or a camping fire, whatever. Bring us to your camp, and let my knights drop their arms. They've stood like this long enough.»

As we enter their place of hiding, I return to think about how to prove the crimes the local lord is committing. There's a chance that the exchange has already happened and it's too late to find the people that were sold.
«If he's selling people, then there must be someone buying,» I mutter while walking. «The simplest case is that he's in contact with human traffickers or someone from abroad.»
«I hope it's like that. If the exchange is completed in our lands, and someone from Ethiro is involved... Unveiling it would be the start of a revolution, Thea.»
