’Where is she going?’

Aurora fixed her eyes on the figure in the distance. Her purple hair swayed below her waist as she walked.

Since she’d been the one who invited Zoey in the first place, Aurora had chosen a room close to hers. The instant she heard the door open and someone stepped out, Aurora knew.

’Is she going to see someone?’ 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Zoey knew no one except them. Yet, she’d long since left their area and had wandered into another.

’Why do I even care?’

It was the fourth time she would ask herself that question. She’d immediately moved without thinking, wanting to see what Zoey was up to.

’I’m just curious. Yes, that’s it.’

The scene went on until Zoey finally stopped on a balcony on one side of the mansion.

’She just wanted fresh air?’

Aurora hid at the end of the hallway, watching as she stared into the night. Now, she wasn’t sure what to do next.

’She’s fine. I’ll just go back.’

She was about to leave when a movement caught her attention. Aurora squinted her eyes, watching as a figure hovered towards the balcony.

’She was waiting for someone?’

She killed her presence and hid, intent on not getting found out as she observed the scene.

"Hello."

"..."

’Let’s see who it is...’

The hallway was open towards the balcony, and she could get found out if she so much as peeked. To circumvent this, Aurora focused and created a thin veil of heat, bending the air until it shimmered like liquid glass. Through it, she saw the figure.

He was slender looking and donned a white lab coat. His hair was messy and unkept. He wore a welcoming smile, though the look in his eyes hinted at madness.

’I’ve seen him before...’ Aurora tried to recall. ’A member of the Velmirath team.’

The man smiled when he received no response.

"You don’t have to answer. I understand. I can see the anguish in your eyes. My condolences, for whatever you lost. Though it is not in my place, I would like to offer my help."

’She wasn’t waiting for him.’

"..."

"I can help you forget everything."

Zoey finally turned to him at those words. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes flickered towards the end of the hallway, and he smiled.

"It seems we have to cut our meeting short," he said, backing up. "Consider this my way of... trying to be of service. You can find me when you’ve made up your mind."

Aurora’s gaze burned with a bright heat as the man left the scene.

’This bastard...’

She knew the power of the Velmirath world. During the debriefing with Sirius, he’d explained everything.

They were known as mad philosophers, and their powers were centered on mana hallucinations and illusions in general.

And if she hadn’t been here, he’d been about to use that power on Zoey.

’I’ll teach him a lesson.’

Though Zoey wasn’t her loved one, she was Atticus’s, sort of. Targeting her was targeting Atticus, and Aurora wasn’t going to let that slide.

As Zoey began retracing her steps, Aurora quickly moved to her room. It was only after she confirmed that Zoey had returned to her room that she finally relaxed.

The next day arrived swiftly, and the cheers and roars from the crowd had only gotten fiercer.

The day before, the Khelzar team had won the Ashveil Dominion after numerous tense and high-stakes battles. Today was the scheduled battle between Somnera and Velmirath.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Are you ready!?"

Aurora, along with the other teams, watched the event unfold through a large screen in a common area. The Stellaris soon introduced the contenders, and Aurora found herself staring at a particular figure.

’That’s him.’

The guy she saw last night. She couldn’t help but notice he stood in the middle of the team.

’He’s their captain.’
