"...WHAT?!"
Grace screamed so loudly that the entire cage trembled.
Her face turned pale for a brief second before fury exploded across it.
"Damn it! Don't tell me..."
She immediately closed her eyes and tried sensing something invisible. Threads of pale energy flickered around her body as she searched desperately for the familiar connection she had always possessed.
A second later, her eyes snapped open violently.
"N-No..."
Her fist clenched hard enough to crack the air around her.
"NO!!"
Grace glared at Aether with murderous rage.
"That damn woman stole my Authority temporarily!"
"..."
Aether blinked in confusion.
Then, after a short pause, he asked the only thing that truly mattered to him.
"It's not going to hurt her... right?"
Grace's face instantly flushed red with anger.
"Hurt her?!" she shouted furiously. "Fucker, that Authority was mine! If anyone's suffering here, it's me!"
She immediately slammed against the cage barrier, trying to force herself out.
