A voice came from the card.
“Where is she? Even if you have to use some forbidden potions, wake her up immediately!”
Grace grew even more anxious.
“They want to hurt Miss Erylin!”
After all, Miss Erylin was someone with such a pure soul, someone who so earnestly yearned for the light. How could she be allowed to be harmed by those people in a place like this?
More importantly...
“Lady Angelica, didn't you say that that gentleman is also here? Could he be in the team the First Prince mentioned?”
“If that's the case, wouldn't he be in danger as well? He might not even know this could be a conspiracy...”
Grace's words jolted Angelica.
But soon, Angelica waved her hand.
“Even so, that guy isn't...”
Angelica instinctively sensed Ain's location, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
That guy was actually still in the city?
In the next moment, Cassian's voice came from the card again.
“A student named Ain carried Erylin inside? Lance, why are you telling me this? I want the location, the location!”
Ain?
Was it that guy associated with the witch?
Come to think of it, that guy seemed to be quite important to Miss Erylin?
Grace thought to herself. But when she looked back at Angelica, she froze.
Angelica's eyes were blazing with fury.
She hadn't understood most of it, but she understood two words.
Namely, Ain.
“That guy named Ain is with Erylin too?!”
Angelica recalled that night when Loretta said she would throw her to Ain to be his little pet.
She had even spoken disrespectfully of her mother, the Goddess of Light.
To dare insult a deity, who did she think she was!
And she even brought me to this miserable state...
This inexplicable card was also slipped onto me by that woman!
“Although I don't know her purpose, I do know one thing...”
Grace blinked, utterly dazed. “What?”
Angelica stood up, her dragon wings snapping open.
“That Ain guy seems to be very important to her.”
Angelica's smile was terrifying.
“Calling him 'little Ain' this, 'little Ain' that, acting so close, are we!”
“Carelessly shoving this card onto me, making me listen to all this nonsense...”
“Trying to scheme against me?”
“Do you really think I will do as she wishes?”
“Damn Diviner!”
“Thinking fate will march to your tune? What a joke!”
Her smile widening, Angelica continued, “Hmph, that woman probably never imagined that the Ain she spoke of is right within my grasp!”
“Just watch me strip your precious Ain naked and drag him across the ground to rub him raw!”
“Grace, where is that hospital they were talking about?!”
“Um... Lady Angelica, wouldn't that be a bad idea?”
Grace wanted to dissuade her, but Angelica grabbed her by the shoulders and said resentfully, “Didn't you say yourself that that guy named Ain is an evil fellow?”
“With the power of a witch flowing through him, how could he possibly be a good person?!”
“Just watch me drag him before Mother's statue and let Mother's will thoroughly cleanse him!”
A moment later, Grace was forced to point to a spot on the map and explain the general direction.
Angelica's gaze remained icy.
“Grace, wait here!”
“Once I capture that guy named Ain, we will torture him together!”
“You wretched woman, you'll regret this!”
Angelica stepped out of the tent and soared into the sky. The surrounding grass swayed gently from the downdraft of her dragon wings, kicking up a gust of wind that forced Grace to shield her face with her hands.
“Wait!”
Grace felt a surge of worry. She reached out to stop her, but it was already too late.
“There... shouldn't be any problems, right?”
...
【Pale Silver Protection (Active)】
【Angelica harbors a powerful obsession toward you! She has sensed the pulse of your life flame and locked onto your location!】
【Note: This effect cannot be dispelled!】
Still handing out potions to Vanessa and Imeve, Ain was completely bewildered.
Wait, what...
What on earth is rushing toward me?
What is she trying to do?
