YOUR GIRL CAN'T CATCH A BREAK

NIKOLAI immediately stood up as soon as he felt a crack in the barrier around the Royal Palace.

It seemed like he was the only one who felt it yet because Glenn and Kyle, who were both standing in front of his desk, looked surprised when he stood up. But since the two were fast to catch up, their surprise turned into alarm.

"The holy barrier in the Royal Palace has cracked," Nikolai informed the two. "I believe it's the work of the devil."

Based on the shocked look on their faces, he confirmed that they didn't really feel the infiltration in the Royal Palace. He couldn't blame them though. The barrier around the Royal Palace was strengthened by Princess Nichole before she died.

When the Princess Royal was gone, the "authority" of the holy barrier was transferred to him. That meant he had the sole and full control of the barrier now.
