Dave – POV
We split into five spies. Three of us were assigned to stay close to Azanlin, while the remaining two, including me, stuck to Lord Ugarh's side. We blended in with the rest of the staff at the party, each of us playing a different role. I was disguised as a waiter, carrying a tray of drinks and moving from table to table.
The party hall was stunning. Bright lights sparkled above us, music filled the air, and laughter echoed all around. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. People danced, talked, and raised their glasses. There were no signs of danger—everything looked perfect.
Ugarh stood proudly in the middle of the room, smiling and greeting guests. Azanlin arrived shortly after, and the moment their eyes met, the energy in the room shifted.
"Brother!" Ugarh
