"What happened? Why do you look so tense?"
"You would be tense too after hearing this." Rina spoke with a bitter smile.
Ethan's expression changed.
The warmth in his eyes disappeared as he sensed that something serious had happened.
"It's from Royal Capital. The spies hidden inside gave us a message."
Rina paused for a moment before continuing.
"The Crown Princess contacted us."
"The Crown Princess!"
Ethan's expression turned sombre.
He straightened his body and looked directly at Rina.
"What does she want?"
Rina took a slow breath before answering.
"She wants us to help her escape from the Imperial Capital."
Rina remained close to Ethan as she watched his expression change. The request from the Crown Princess was not something they could simply ignore.
