"Hm? That kid?" Tiamat tilted her head. "He's in prison at the request of Kareth. Why? Do you wish to see him?"
"If I can, yes," Rael replied. "I heard he's managed to partially escape from here, so I just want to check it out and have a chat with him, you could say."
"How do you even know about Lucien?" Vatyra chimed in, suspicious.
Rael rolled his eyes. "He reached out to me. We talked, and he tried to manipulate my memories. Frankly, I—"
"Ah, you're right." Tiamat stood up slowly. "Seems like there's a gap in the barrier holding him."
"Are you going to fix it?" Rael asked.
However, he wasn't exactly expecting Tiamat's next words.
"Is that your wish?"
"What...?"
"I owed two favors to Kareth. One of them was trapping Lucien, and the other you just cashed in," Tiamat said. "For that reason, if you want me to trap Lucien again, then I'll need something of equivalent value, which is obviously another wish of its own."
