"Can you let me borrow one of them?"
"By 'them'… you mean the prisoners, right?" Rowan asked, looking curious.
Eman nodded. "Yeah. There's something I'm curious about, so I want to question them—see if they know anything."
"I see. Alright, I'll relay the message to the captain."
"Thanks."
"There's no need to thank me."
Eman smiled faintly. "Alright."
After discussing things with Rowan, Eman had his meal. Once finished, he decided to inform Rowan that he would soon visit the academy in the capital—he needed to take action regarding his clan's current situation.
As he made his way toward Rowan's office, he happened to meet him in the hallway. Rowan looked equally surprised to see him.
"Well, well, Eman. I didn't expect to run into you here. Do you need something? Come inside," Rowan greeted.
