The next morning, Darion handed Vera a cloth bundle filled with coins.
She looked at it with mild surprise visible on her face. Not shock exactly, but definitely surprise.
She honestly hadn't expected payment this quickly.
The last time they discussed it, Percvale had barely been functioning. Also, the attack by Valdenmoor had weakened them a lot before their retaliation.
She hadn't expected a payment this early.
She weighed the bundle slightly in her hands and looked at him.
During all the whispers and movements after the return from Valdenmoor, she hadn't actually known the full extent of what they had done there.
Darion and Garren had whispered stuffs at the great hall during the Aldric questioning but she hadn't heard anything.
She knew the knights had been destroyed. She knew the farmland had burned. She knew Aldric had been brought here and forced into an oath.
But she hadn't known about the treasury.
