It took several hours before everyone had regained some of their calm.
The entire situation was still not fixed, given the tears that were still streaming down most of the women's faces, but the City Lord had ordered everyone to gather.
Apparently, there was something she wanted to announce, which caused Jason to follow them slowly.
Meanwhile, the two corpses had already been transferred to coffins and they would be buried soon.
Standing in front of the City Lord, Jason simply looked at her waiting for her to say something which didn't take long to happen.
"I know most of you, including myself, are still in pain because of today's loss. Hina and Nua were good women, and I was, and still am proud to have accepted them into my rows.
Nevertheless, I'm glad that everyone else survived, even if the injuries almost everyone had sustained are severe, and need time to be healed.
Many of you may question who attacked us, and I cannot answer this for sure. The Specta stage powerhouses were unknown to me, and the content of their spatial rings was nothing special. However, given the high cost of rune disruptive devices, we can safely say that someone with high authority purchased them!
Given the fact that the Aeus and Devir race entered a truce, only for both of them to attack the Tritans' cadet camps and the manor with combined forces, it looks like their royalty is behind everything.
However, that is not something I can be certain about for now!
Even if it's hard for all of you, please tend to your wounds and focus on recuperating for the next few days.
Getting adequate rest will be the most important for all of you because we never know what may happen in the future!"
With a grim expression, she stated everything that was on her mind, only to sigh in the end.
After she was done speaking, Jason opened his mouth to say something only to close it again thinking that it could wait.

Luna noticed this which caused her to look straight at him.
It was only then that she truly realised that he was completely unscathed, which was majorly the case because Jason had already changed into a fresh set of clothes, discarding the burned and soiled ones.
"What is it, Jason? Just speak what's on your mind."
The City Lord was not even thinking about being harsh to Jason, just because he was a male.
Her injuries were aching hellishly, and she was just dead-tired, feeling like she could fall asleep right on the spot she was standing at the moment.
"If the Aeus and Devirs really attacked us, why were a few assassins reluctant to fight against us? It might have only been in my fight, but despite everybody receiving a uniform payment stored inside their spatial ring, indicating them to be assassins or mercenaries, they didn't seem to be either of that.
It might be wrong to say this right now because everyone is exhausted and injured, but I just wanted to ask, is there any chance that the Manyrs might be behind this?
There might be a human, who can produce the rune disruptive devices, and even if there is not, a black market should still have such devices!
I don't want to ignore the possibility that the royalty of the Aeus and Devir race could have attacked us, but I think it's weird that there was not even a single human amongst the few hundred assassins!"
Initially, Jason would have waited a few more days before revealing his assumption because by then everyone would have calmed down.
However, now that he had already revealed it, Jason noticed that he was eyed by almost everyone suspiciously.
Several seconds of silence passed before the City Lord shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, that could be the case, but let's not jump to half-baked conclusions. It might be the Manyrs that are trying to start a war between the Tritans, Aeus and Devirs, but everything could also be an elaborate scheming of the Devir and Aeus' royalty, who knows?"
Jason just nodded his head, knowing that the City Lord's words were certainly true.

Afterward, without wasting any more time, Luna said.
"For now, let's focus on recuperating!"
With that being said, the City Lord took out her messenger card before she called someone.
Only half an hour later, everyone who had been working in the Manor returned to the collapsed ruins.
Several days before the assassination occurred, most of the people had been sent away in order to prevent the deaths of those who weren't even targeted by the perpetrators.
As such, when they returned, they were shocked to find corpses littering the ground, in addition to the magnificent Manor that was now reduced to ruins.
However, the most shocking thing for them was the fact that the City Lord had sustained multiple severe injuries.
This terrified the workers, who couldn't remotely comprehend what had happened when they had been away.
Not much after the workers had arrived, a team of construction workers that didn't belong to the City Lord, arrived as well.
Seeing the corpses, they were terrified, but soon after they had been told to focus on reconstructing the Manor.
This was easier said than done and would take them several weeks if not months, but time was what they had the most.
At least they thought that they had more than enough time, only to realise soon enough that this was not the case.
**
Two weeks flew by, and many things had happened after the attack on the Manor.

While Jason had cultivated a few hours every single day, the vast majority of his day focused on expelling the dead mana vein out of Spyro.
It was taking much longer than Jason expected and became only more difficult because the little Spiral Spirit began to grow at a rapid pace.
The small egg had already attained the same size as regular eggs, and Jason was glad to see that its Spiral cultivation veins seemed to be recuperating well too.
Happy to see this, Jason almost forgot about the incident that had happened two weeks earlier.
Despite that, the others were unable to forget it, and with the news of the City Lord's manor having been destroyed, and Luna's severe injuries, rumors about her supposed incompetence had spread through the entire city like a wildfire.
Most citizens were not sure if Luna should remain the City Lord because she had failed to protect her own Manor, let alone her subordinates or herself.
The critique of the oblivious citizens was harsh, but Luna didn't mind them.
Rather, she focussed on finding the culprit that had caused everything.
Whether it was for taking revenge, or simply to know who wanted to create trouble, Jason didn't know the reason.
However, what he knew for sure was that the entire situation inside the Julandra region was escalating because one specific event was about to happen.
It was the resurfacing of Kinra Island, the land of the legacies!
Jason did not know what kind of Island it was, but according to the information Jennifer shared with him, it had to be extraordinary.
The island was said to resurface every few centuries, at an unknown date, and year.
However, when it emerged out of the water, it would remain above the surface for a specific period between six months to an entire year.

Somehow, Jason felt odd with the provided information, but after intently listening to the benefits one could obtain from entering Kinra Island, he realised why so many things were suddenly occurring in succession.
