In the Royal Castle of the Erell Empire, Zephyra immediately stepped into the long, ornate dining hall with purposeful strides.
She was still wearing the same skin-tight black clothes that the Masked Man persona always wore, and even the distinctive mask still covered her face. At this point in time, everybody within the castle… from the lowest servants to the highest butlers knew full well that this was their "Prince's" secret other identity.
And they all loved "him" far too much to ever reveal the truth to anyone outside these walls.
Eli floated behind her in its usual floating ball form.
"I do hope you're properly ready, My Prince," Eli said with obvious concern in its voice. "For removing that sacred seal which the Great Rune Wizard literally sacrificed his entire life force to create and maintain, you should at the very least incur some form of significant punishment from His Majesty."
Zephyra rolled her eyes behind the mask where no one could see.
