At some point, the appointed time arrived.
When Lumine and Yelena reached the gate, Lumine saw the small group already gathered there: the Nebula prince, Caleus; the Nebula princess, Veronica; the Crimson prince, Azriel; a nameless soldier of the Nebula Clan; and... Sir Felix, a knight of the Crimson Clan.
Apparently, the knight had returned from some mission, though he would not tell Azriel what it had been because too many people present were not part of his clan.
At least, that was what Lumine assumed.
It was a small team, but a strong one.
Before Lumine fully realized it, they had already left and were making their way toward the place where Jasmine and Celestina had supposedly been taken. Even though Azriel was the only one who knew the location, he refused to explain how. He evaded the question again and again until Caleus finally got angry enough that Azriel bluntly told him to shut up.
...The two of them did not seem to want to be around each other at all.
