Concern.

Emperor Luthien made his way back to the Silverbird Kingdom even when Lammert was motioning him not to leave.

And unaware of many things, Ozul was down in the secret room somewhere under the Palace. The Empress had activated all the defenses again and also sent the royal family's personal guards to stop him.

While all of that was happening in the Silverbird Kingdom, there was a different kind of excitement growing in the Neutral Lands.

In the headquarters of the Three-Eyed Strangers, Raven sat on the couch placed at the far corner of the room on the 7th floor. She was staring blankly on the floor, thinking about her battle with that middle stage Rank-8 Mage from the Church.

The result of that match, much to her dissatisfaction, didn't happen as she wanted it to be. Raven wanted to defeat that brown-haired man, and she was finally making some progress at the end.
