Whatever the case, the matter at hand being your beguilement of these two dark elves. You've most certainly secured the devotion and support, and while you wouldn't expect to just parade them around Bexley as new allies (for the humans to grow hateful and suspicious of), you imagine a pair of dark elven assassins could prove useful even at arm's length. Similar to Claus, the forester who remains devoted to you yet serves afar from Bexley. Supposing you don't send these elves out of your domain and back to their own, their undying devotion should hold.
Honestly though, it's a small matter in your mind, when your focus is almost entirely upon your beloved mortal and father of your child. Leon is likely to have been kidnapped, and you're not sure how to get him back. By now those other dark elves are probably in retreat from Bexley, withdrawing back to the elven domain. You'd go after him yourself even, but your pregnancy weighs heavily on your mind and body, ideally not wanting to risk anything else after this luckily-thwarted assassination attempt... next time you might not be so lucky.
The one bit of solace though, that if these two elves are to be believed, then Leon is probably not in danger as long as he doesn't do anything stupid. If the elves want him, then they will likely keep him well. You don't want to abandon him to them a moment longer than you have to, but now you're plagued by a decision if you should rely on your mortal subjects, wait for your child first before acting... or take the risk for your beloved and involve yourself now.
>Damn the risks, you're heading out personally to see this through! It won't be easy, but you've been through worse.
>Rely on your mortals to act in your stead and hope they can manage... it's a sad and sorry state to be in, but your condition is too precarious to risk anything yourself.
>You will take matters into your own hands, but it will have to wait. Assuming Leon won't be in danger, first have this baby and then you can pursue him without risk.
>Perhaps you could try and negotiate with the elves? Unfortunately they'll have the upper hand now, and you can't imagine them giving up Leon without something of value in return, but at the very least you can stall whatever they have planned for him.
>You love Leon, but... he'll be fine with the elves. You got what mattered from him, a child, so you can always find another mortal to love.
>[Write-in.]
