"Where does this staircase lead to?" Mike asked with a confused expression.
"I will explain everything, for now... Please follow me," Derein spoke as she continued to go down, and Mike followed her.
"So, why didn't you write the letter to master?" Mike asked.
"I did... He never answered. That's why I had to write it to you," Derein replied.
"Yeah, he is really busy taking over the Elven Kingdom. Today is the day; he is finally going to take over the whole kingdom by replacing the Queen," Mike explained.
"That's good," Derein replied with a straight face.
"I thought you would be more happy after listening to this... Wasn't this your dream from the start?" Mike asked.
"Sir Mike, at this moment... My own kingdom is on the line, and I don't have anyone to protect it," Derein spoke as she looked at Mike with a very serious expression.
