The situation is getting out of hand.

Sonia frowned as she strode across the silent palace. She didn’t notice before when she headed out, but now she discovered that there was no one else except for her around the palace, not even the guard who notified her of the meeting. This left the nervous Sonia even more uncertain. She approached Lilian’s room hurriedly, knocking on the door.

“Your Majesty, are you there? Your Majesty?!”

“Huh, Sonia? Come in.”

Sonia let out a long sigh of relief after hearing Lilian’s carefree voice. She pushed open the door quickly and saw Lilian lounging on the table, reading a book with both hands supporting her cheeks. Lilian blinked curiously at Sonia.

“Is anything the matter, Sonia?”

“Your Majesty Lilian, may I know where Madam Serene and Sir Boulder are? Where are the Battle Angels who are accompanying you too? Where is everyone?”

“Huh?”

Lilian stared blankly at Sonia who suddenly asked the ridiculous questions. But she quickly gave an answer.

“I don’t know where Boulder went. As for Serene… I heard that a dangerous nest of monsters was found, so she led the Battle Angels to remove it. As for the guards, they may be rotating their shifts now. I heard Serene mentioning it yesterday…”

“When are the Battle Angels coming back? Your Majesty, is there any way to contact them?”

“Hmm… I don’t know… As for a way to contact them…”

Lilian puckered her brows and pondered deeply. Then, she retrieved an exquisite ornament from her pocket. Sonia let out a sigh of relief at the sight of it.

“My apologies, but could you please get the two archangels to return as soon as possible? We’re facing a critical situation!”

“Okay.”

Even though Lilian didn’t know why Sonia was acting so flustered, she nodded in agreement, lifting the exquisite crystal ornament in her hand. Shortly after, rays shone from the ornament and golden runes appeared above it, gradually merging into a mirror-like object. Sonia was familiar with it as something like a far-range communication device because this was what she saw whenever she communicated with Rhode. Since the device was activated, what was left now was to communicate with the two archangels…

But it was a pity that things didn’t go as well as Sonia hoped for. The instant the runes was about to merge successfully, a mysterious, black radiance suddenly appeared. Lilian shrieked and the communication ritual immediately crumbled. Not only that, but the crystal ornament also cracked and shattered.

Damn it!

Sonia gnashed her teeth. It seemed like it wasn’t a coincidence that Nakvard asked for Sonia now. He must have used some ways to make the two archangels lead the remaining Battle Angels away from Casabianca, as well as transferred the guards away. In this case, it would take no effort at all for him to take Lilian away. In order to prevent accidents, he had even meddled with Lilian’s communication device. But how did he do it?

However, now wasn’t the time to consider this question. Most importantly, what should Sonia do next? Should she hold her ground and wait for the archangels’ return? No, that wouldn’t be reliable because no one knew exactly when they would return. Besides, all of this seemed to be well planned by the parliament. She didn’t expect them to control the place in the name of relieving the guards.

Perhaps I should report this to Master…

“Sonia? What’s wrong? Why are you hurt?”
