NIKOLAI X MONA

MONA didn't return to the villa, even though it was the excuse she gave Nero when she ran away earlier.

She was ashamed that she ran away just because of Nikolai.

But she didn't have the time to dwell on that.

[A god's presence…?]

She looked up at the sky when she noticed the strange sensation in the air.

The sky was clear and bright, and the weather in the Hazelden Kingdom remained the same. But she couldn't be wrong. She was certain that a strong divine power was lingering in the air.

[My babies…]

She followed her gut feeling and ran towards where her children were.

When she was near the entrance of the Frozen Woods, the sky roared angrily. And it was never a good sign. Thus, she ran using her maximum speed.

She was still late, though.

[No!]

A bolt of blinding white lightning descended on the ground– and it was about to strike her children who were hugging each other.
