[Billion's PoV]
I landed back in our temporary camp in the Peanu capital with Steve, Primus, and Lara at my side.
The camp was almost empty, quieter than I expected. Only two grandmasters remained, seated on simple chairs, passing the time with a board game.
The moment they noticed me, they pushed their pieces aside and stood at attention.
"Commander," they said together, offering a sharp salute.
I gave a small nod in return. Their gazes flickered briefly toward Primus and Lara, then returned to me, curiosity clear in their eyes though neither dared to ask.
I stepped closer to one of the older men and spoke. "Could you arrange a place for them to stay? They'll be returning with us to Vaythos."
The grandmaster bowed his head once. "Of course."
With that settled, I turned back to Primus and Lara. "We'll speak later," I said quietly, then left them in the grandmasters' care.
