"Are you ready for tomorrow?" John asked .
Walking with my hands in my pockets, I sighed a little. "Not really, but we'll just go with the flow, I guess?"
Tomorrow marked the final exam of this sester, to be held in the Dolphis Kingdom. However, what concerned both John and was the crucial [Event] scheduled for tomorrow.
[Behemoth] would launch an attack to acquire the Horn held by the Dolphis Royalty.
"If they get that Horn, it will be nearly over for us."
"I know," I nodded thoughtfully.
Contemplating whether to inform lfina, John and I decided against it. After our failed attempt to eliminate Nora, we were wary of the potential consequences. Informing lfina would likely lead to the cancellation of the exam, and the unpredictability of [Behemoth]'s next move was a risk I wasn't willing to take.
I had learned from my mistakes the previous year and opted for extre caution, even if it ant the sacrifice of innocent lives. The safety of Mom, Christina, and Celeste was paramount. For a fleeting mont, Elizabeth's face crossed my mind. After Priscilla's words, I couldn't help but regard her as one of my precious people. Despite the awkwardness following the incident, I recognized her genuine help against Lykhor. She could have remained silent, but she chose to assist .
Shaking off those thoughts, I focused on more imdiate concerns.
"Why do you think she called us?" I asked John.
He glanced at with a frown. "Obviously, it's for our 'control' since we are considered criminals."
Ah.
Right, I forgot about that.
King Charles had warned that he would periodically send his n to check on us.
For example...
I glanced at the anti-mana cuffs around my wrists. If we still had them, it was also about our behavior here.
