The next morning

As Thorian awoke, he quickly changed his clothes and made his way out. After he’d conquered the second layer of the Thunderous Citadel the day before, he had retrieved the Thunder’s Boon Elixir recipe and some pulse poppies from the old storage room. He entrusted these to Hamur for practice, hopeful that Hamur had learned from previous trials before beginning mass production of the Elixirs.

Before visiting the Alchemist’s lab, Thorian decided to meet with Alacritas, his usual contact. The silver assassin updated him on the progress in clearing Locksley of monsters, noting an accelerated pace thanks to Lord William’s return and advancement in class.

“What about the lady in green?” Thorian inquired.

“We haven’t found her yet,” Alacritas replied apologetically. “But we suspect she’s connected to the Strongheart family, one of the noble families ruling over the human city.”

“The Stronghearts?” Thorian’s eyebrow arched in intrigue. “Go on.”

Thorian was familiar with the Stronghearts’ tumultuous past. But his knowledge of them was still somewhat limited, primarily knowing them through Oswald, a friend of Tristan. Having only connected with Locksley two years after the apocalypse in his previous life, any memory of the noble family’s internal dynamics before that time was a struggle to recall.

“While conducting espionage within the inner city, we noticed that certain individuals were shadowing us. Given the average level of Locksley’s knights and soldiers, these men were clearly not part of their military. We surmised they were subordinates of the lady in green,” Alacritas reported.

Thorian folded his hands. “How does this implicate the Strongheart family?”

“They only trailed us near the Strongheart mansion, my lord,” Alacritas explained, his expression grave. “Each time we attempted to infiltrate the mansion, they were there, shadowing our movements. Beyond these instances, they were nowhere to be seen.”

“An astute observation,” Thorian acknowledged, falling into deep contemplation. Alacritas’s findings suggest a complex situation in Locksley. If the Stronghearts have shifted their loyalty from William to this mysterious lady, she becomes the central figure in the region’s power dynamics.

“Excellent work,” Thorian commended, patting Alacritas’s shoulder as the latter knelt. “But be extremely cautious. Our adversary is formidable, and their full strength remains unknown. Avoid infiltrating the mansion further; focus instead on distant observation and information gathering.”

“Understood, my king,” Alacritas dutifully replied.

Alacritas vanished as quickly as he came, leaving Thorian to proceed alone to the Alchemist’s Lab. There, he found Hamur already immersed in potion synthesis.

“You never seem to take a break,” Thorian remarked as he entered.

Hamur turned, a smile brightening his face. “I’m just eager to work on these elixirs, my lord.” He reached for a bottle on a nearby table and presented it to Thorian. “You’ve arrived at a perfect time. This latest batch has been a success.”

Thorian accepted the vial, examining it closely.
