85 Chapter 55: aftermath of the nightmare

*crash*

The temple gate burst opened has a legion of people poured in.

((Finally!…What took you imbeciles so long?! I literally did 99% of the work for you and you still couldn't have gotten here sooner?))

Markus wanted to voice his complaints out loud but decided not to since this definitely wasn't the right timing.

"Your majesty! Mira! Where are you?!"

The ginormous figure of margrave Phraesine burst through the door followed by a dozen figures.

((…He called out to the emperor before his own daughter…they must be especially close…childhood friends maybe?))

Markus deduced from the undertones in the margrave's voice that he was personally very close with the emperor.

((Wait…if Syph sensei is here…))

Markus took a good look at what's behind him.

There laid the wounded and bloody body of the only daughter of the Rosewood house bloody and wounded.

((…))

It didn't take even a nanosecond for Markus to process things.

((…oh sh*t…))
