"I have already done so. Anyone who manages to open that door from the outside will be disintigrated, unless it is one of the four of us." She looked at the twins, who were lounging on a couch, "Now, tell me what the problem is, Alaerth."
After hearing his concerns for his kingdom and sister, Alliene remained quiet for a moment in thought, then spoke up "Normally I would tell you to remain here, Alaerth, and protect your lands, and I would accompany Alae and protect her." A frown creased her ageless face "But this is stirring troubles at House Streea. I can only stay with you for awhile before I have to go back and deal with this dead's House's upstarts. That is why I want you to go with us, so that after I am gone, you can protect your sister in my stead." The prince nodded soberly, and she looked to Sylquis, "You will remain here and keep the kingdom in their stead, I assume."
