Yuris raised his brow at Isaac.
"You're inviting just the two of us?"
Isaac clicked his tongue as he glanced at Austin, Max, and the others, his gaze deep.
"I know we were friends during the Trial. And nothing truly bad happened between us. But for some reason, I just can't bring myself to feel any goodwill toward them."
He looked at Yuris and Charles.
"You two want a free ride or not?"
Yuris raised his hands.
"Definitely!"
Then he whispered.
"Although I could simply fly back home."
Isaac's eyebrow twitched. With a crisp sound, he smacked Yuris on the head.
Just at that moment, the Queen appeared before everyone, her presence immediately commanding their attention. Her cold voice rang out across the garden, loud yet calm.
"I am relieved to see everyone back. Congratulations on returning safely."
Everyone immediately straightened. But for some reason, unlike before, this time under her aura, no one felt fear. That was strange.
Very, very strange.
