The sound of merrymaking echoed in the cavern where the first Aslanians resided.
At the moment, Vlad was seated right beside Leone, holding a mug of fruit juice. The ones present were celebrating Vlad, for their Great Chieftain had acknowledged him as his next vassal.
Then again, even though they were being merry, Leone had sent out a gag order that the news of Vlad pledging allegiance to him would not leave the cavern until the time was right.
The young chieftain had even ordered guards to reinforce the entrance and prevent anyone from coming in.
Leone then asked Jason to pay Natalia a visit and let her know that Vlad would stay the night with Leone. Those words ought to be enough to let her understand that her younger brother had succeeded in his mission.
An hour later, when the celebration had died down a bit, Leone stood with the ceremonial sword in hand.
In front of him, Vlad knelt like a knight, his head lowered and ready to accept his liege's vassalship.
