Chapter 53 - Invasion

Ophelia's voice resonated with an undeniable sense of urgency, sending shivers down the spines of those present.

All eyes in the internet cafe, drawn by the unexpected outburst, shifted toward Ophelia. The unexpected shout had captured everyone's attention, including the King's, whose countenance shifted to a more intense expression. Witnessing his daughter's uncharacteristic display of emotion, the King intuited the gravity of the situation that must have prompted such a reaction.

Of particular note was Lunaria, who was keenly attuned to the mention of her homeland's name. Swiftly and with a sense of intrigue, she focused her gaze upon Ophelia. A crease of puzzlement marred her forehead, indicating her struggle to reconcile the weight carried by Ophelia's words with her own knowledge, which appeared to have gaps regarding recent events concerning her homeland.
