"So please, Lord Kael, keep these rations in our stead."
Maela spoke as she bowed her head. Kael quickly grabbed her before she bent too much and hurt herself. Lavinia, on the other hand, observed all the elders standing behind Maela.
The look in their eyes was clear; no matter what she or Kael said, they wouldn't listen to them.
It wasn't just her; Kael understood it as well, and for a moment, silence fell over the place with Kael and Lavinia staring at each other before looking at the elders again.
For a moment, Kael was actually tempted to say that nothing was going to happen to them and that they should take the rations without worrying needlessly, but…
Kael understood that he wasn't in the position to say those words.
These people saw him as God; if he said anything, they would take his words very seriously, they would actually start believing that nothing was going to happen to them anytime soon, but…
Neither Kael, nor Lavinia, nor anyone else knew that.
