Return to the Red Palace (1)

Half an hour has passed since Emma left the room to talk to her superiors.

It must have been a delicate discussion, given how long she had been there.

The woman came back to the room with a calm look on her face, though, meaning that everything went well.

"I spoke with Captain Lain. She has agreed to let you come to the Red Palace."

Erik felt relief upon hearing those words. His eyes widened with gratitude as he processed the news. His eyes sparkled, and a small smile played on his lips.

"Thank you, Emma. This means a lot," Erik said. "Without the resistance's help, our fight against Volkov and the Blackguards will be much harder."
