Chloe | Letter 02 — I don't trust him

Valen likes him. That should be enough, but…it isn't.

He came from the City of Lynn. Highly recommended by Leonard…a person I trust.

I don’t know if I trust him. I really don’t know.

He seems… calculating, determined, observing. But isn’t that what I need from an army councilman?

Valen seems to trust him, but then my man could pull the splinter from an angry wolf’s paw, and he would trust the animal while doing it.

This monster outside our walls still lurks. I need to see Viktor for advice, but that itself is fraught with danger.

Viktor…

He’d best be looking after my two treasures. Well, four treasures actually.

The council look wary, but it’s what they signed up for. We need to harvest, or everyone will starve. At least we all agree on one thing.

I need to run. The rooftops are calling me.

I will stay strong
