"With Sir Sebastian? The one who always had her eyes closed, Olivia?"
Alex nodded, a dark frown creasing his forehead. "She's..."
"How could she?!"
"Power, She craved strength, and she thought aligning with the Demon King was the answer."
June fell silent, processing the revelation. Olivia, a seemingly quiet girl, harboring such a deep desire for power. "...I see."
Alex sighed, exhaustion finally settling into his bones. "You can go back now, June. Thanks for evacuating everyone. Let them know the castle is secure for now... but-"
June cut him off, her voice steady despite the late hour. "They're already settled in the evacuation knight camp. It's better to let them sleep. They're bound to be shaken after tonight."
Alex offered her a tired nod. "Thanks, June. You were a big help."
June gave a small, resolute nod and walked away, her determined silhouette disappearing into the pre-dawn light.
