Lora has always trusted her instinct, and she immediately shared this matter with Marcus.
The little nine-tailed fox wagged its tail and earnestly said, "That foolish Crown Prince is probably still rejoicing over blowing up my house at this moment, but that sudden appearance of the octopus is not simple."
Lora nodded, "Yes, and there's also Silvia. The smooth progress with the treasury and advanced mechas might make us complacent. If they ambush us at the harbor, we might end up failing in the end."
Marcus suggested, "So, what should we do now to successfully divert the Crown Prince's attention?"
Lora and Marcus exchanged a glance, their understanding unspoken.
Marcus said, "Let's blow up the palace again. And let it be known that yesterday, the prince blew up my house, so we retaliated by piloting Asura to destroy the imperial palace."
Lora smiled, "Good."
Their premonition was correct.
