Duren was dumbfounded once more, and Ireya wondered if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to catch a glimpse of Duren glancing in her direction.
The Lady pondered if the former Imperial Forest Guard Captain was desperately seeking help, hoping that she would come forward to say a word on his behalf at this time.
Unfortunately for Duren, he had found the wrong person. Although Ireya felt somewhat sympathetic towards Duren, she was aware of her own standing.
