One Last Shot

Mirage Queen's eyes turned red as she watched her capital in ruins. She clutched her heart and gritted her teeth to prevent the tears from falling.

As a Queen, she mustn't cry.

Even if the city of her ancestors was destroyed.

Even if the Castle that the Emperor personally gifted was smashed to bits.

Even if her heart broke into pieces and was crushed to powder, she shouldn't cry.

"Gather the survivors. Maintain contact with all cities. Stay alert." Mirage Queen issued the orders in an emotionless tone.

The entourage that returned with her couldn't even utter a word. They only responded with a 'hm.'

Mirage Queen didn't bother to reprimand them and landed her spaceship in the place where her castle used to be.

Due to Archduke Laren's outburst, the bits and pieces of the castle were scattered across the city.
