Rancel, still adorned in her elegant mourning attire, sat alone in her lavishly decorated bedroom. The room was filled with somber shades of black and gray, the grandeur of her surroundings serving as a stark contrast to her grief-stricken state. A small, delicate portrait of Eskaal rested on her nightstand, and she gazed at it with a mixture of sorrow and anger. Her eyes were red from crying, and her hands trembled as she clutched a handkerchief. Rancel smirked and inhaled deeply while recalling every kind of bad memory to change her tone. She started whispering, tears in her eyes as she began to pretend to be remorseful. “Eskaal... I never got to say goodbye.” She lowered her head, overcome by the weight of her emotions.

We need to rescue Eskaal and Meagia.”Zilver's brows furrowed as he processed her audacious proposal. He became skeptical knowing it was not easy. “Inv
