In the heart of the Naga Faction, within the Queen's palace, the Naga Queen scrutinized the three intruders before her, finding their arrival peculiar.
"Why have you intruded into our Naga Faction? What is your purpose here? If you seek to investigate clues about the Mystery forces, why come to us?"
The Queen's direct questions to John reflected her need to understand the situation as the supreme ruler of the Naga Faction.
John's facial expression was tense, even somewhat fierce - an appearance to outsiders, but internally, he was seething with anger.
Upon laying eyes on the Naga Queen, he had confirmed that she had indeed been tainted by the Mystery forces, validating his previous suspicions.
"Why are you silent? Did you not hear Her Majesty's question?"
Shatras, standing beside them, expressed her annoyance at John's lack of response.
John's discovery about the Naga Queen significantly changed the dynamics of their interaction.
