Warlock Ch 380. Power Plays
Damian leaned against the mantle, choosing his words carefully. "The city's in turmoil. Power plays, betrayals... it's a mess. Lysandra—the dragoness you saw—came seeking information."
Cedric's brow furrowed. "Information? About what?"
"An anomaly," Damian replied. "A powerful presence detected within the city. She's concerned about the balance of power."
The prince's eyes narrowed. "And she thinks Selena is involved?"
Damian shook his head. "No, but she knows Selena and I witnessed events at the S-rank examination. She wanted assurances that we're not contributing to the chaos."
Cedric exhaled slowly, tension evident in his shoulders. "I don't like this. Selena's position is precarious enough without dragons and assassins in the mix."
"I understand," Damian said, his tone steady. "But she's safer here than anywhere else right now."
The prince's gaze softened slightly. "She trusts you."
