Raegar leaned closer, muttering under his breath as he drank some more sake that burned his throat once again. ''Hollowborns prowling the northern border? What is the Stormrune Kingdom doing about this?''
''Nothing,'' a woman's voice sounded from behind him. ''Those barbarians send them south to cause chaos on the Borderlands.''
He jumped out of his skin and glanced behind him to see an old woman standing there with narrowed eyes. The librarian pointed at the bottle and scowled. ''Too young to be drinking such stuff, don't let the professors see you or you'll be in trouble.''
Raegar chuckled, taking out a glass and pouring some of the sake into it before replying. ''Is that why the empire deployed the military there? And Duke D'Ambrose is having issues with the Forest Giants?''
The old woman sat opposite while nodding. ''That is correct. If my predictions are true, the school will restrict your movements when the creatures make it this far south, this isn't an if but a when.''
