Rain did not get a good look at the prisoner Saint Seishan was supposedly escorting. She did glimpse the beautiful princess herself, whose presence was just as soothing as always — however, there was an eerie escort of empty-eyed pilgrims in the way, so it was hard to see who had been captured by the Queen's daughter.
Rain stayed in the shadows, leaning on the wall of an armory among other idle soldiers. Her brother remained silent until the strange prisoner convoy disappeared from view, heading toward the stone keep where the Queen herself was rumored to reside.
Then, he suddenly separated himself from her shadow.
"I'll go snoop around a little. Don't get into any trouble while I am away."
Rain scoffed.
"Who am I, a kid? Why would I get into trouble?"
He remained silent for a few moments, then said in a dubious tone:
"Yeah…"
With that, the shadow stealthily glided away.
