Without another word, Garius raised his hand slightly, signaling two guards standing near the entrance.
As soon as his fingers moved, the two stepped forward and bowed politely. "Yes, my lord?"
Garius's voice remained calm but firm. "Ensure this girl is escorted directly to the border town."
The guards nodded without hesitation. "As your command, my lord."
Garius turned back to Rundea, his gaze sharpening. "And, Rundea."
The halfling tensed. "Yes, my lord?"
Garius tapped lightly on the armrest of his chair. "If you plan to rest at an inn before departing, make sure this letter is with you at all times. These two will safeguard you until you ride your wyvern back to the Halfling Kingdom."
Rundea held the letter tighter, nodding. "Understood, my lord. I will not fail."
The two guards saluted, ready to carry out their duty.
Just as Rundea prepared to step back, Garius's voice cut through the air. "About this Amazarak woman."
