Alex's Plan

Alex watched as Chi-Chi's figure disappeared completely into the portal. Shortly after, Luca sent Alex a request to dissolve the Alliance.

The portal returned to its default state, and moments later, it flickered as Sophie emerged from it.

"Big Shot, you said Chi-Chi left to find her family?" Sophie asked, having received Alex's message to come over and manage Chi-Chi's beasts. Alex had simply said it was to find her family.

"Yes, she just left," Alex replied, heading towards the door with Sophie following.

"I wondered why I couldn't use the portal earlier," Sophie said, noticing a new small castle next to her subsidiary castle. It was obviously Chi-Chi's.

"Don't worry, Big Shot. I'm an orphan with no family, so I won't be leaving," Sophie added, trying to reassure Alex.

Alex responded with an eye roll.
