The red-eyed spy had already reached near the outer village by the time the King had announced the final judgment against Lillian. He was running against the wind and was returning back to Mihir to report to the King.
Normally, his job was to gather the relevant information on Wyverndale and on Adeline and report back to Reginald by sending the letters. However, as the news about Lillian's capture was huge news, he didn't want to wait for the messenger to come and fetch the letter from him. He wanted to personally deliver the message to the King in detail.
"I hope the King will be happy with my finding. He is really hard to please though. I doubt that he will even acknowledge all the effort that I put into finding the information today. But I really hope that he will see my hard work," that spy thought to himself as he swooshed forward towards his destination.
