"First, I must congratulate you on leaving the Duchy alive. Not many do."
The projected man continued, his voice smooth and measured. "You should have begun preparing your detailed report, but for now, I require a few answers. Be concise, for Bia's sake."
"Understood," Zeno replied promptly.
"Did he give you any trouble?"
"Aside from destroying my barrier, he did not," Bia answered quickly.
The projection nodded. "I see."
"Were you able to scout the area for any possible openings?"
Nemed's crisp, clear voice resonated. "Yes. I conducted a preliminary scan of the perimeter from our arrival until our departure. Above ground, there are no visible entry or exit points, excluding the main entrance."
"Underground?"
"I couldn't go any deeper than surface level," Nemed replied, a hint of shame creeping into his voice.
"I require a detailed account of this in your report," the projection stated, turning away from him and facing his son.
