Celeste turned to look at her former love.
He was dressed in an ornate, fancy garb - dark crimson in colour, with a high-collared sleeveless mantle draped over his shoulders. It appeared to be crafted from an extravagantly fine leather, golden engravings on the high collar catching the light.
Coupled with his neutral mask, eye patch and sole crimson eye, Alden did indeed look like a young Prince, heir to the most powerful individual in the Sanctuary. Celeste didn't know how strong the Keeper was in relation to the leaders of the Four Clans, but if they were marginally ahead with regards to influence and power, then it would make sense for them to be the strongest.
Alden now held a similar status to her, which Celeste was glad to see.
No longer could people use him as a way to get to her, or force her hand - they would have to think twice before crossing the Keeper's Apprentice.
