Instead of a shocked expression or a gasp of total surprise at the words that came from Maladevana, Artie only frowned unintentionally. She didn't want to look rude or anything, but she… surely didn't understand what was happening. Even if she did, the implications of those words were things she couldn't readily accept.
Just earlier, she was looking for Herriot. Since he was just chilling out at the balcony of the dance hall and was rather left undisturbed by the masses, she just took a sigh of relief. However, she suddenly felt like Larkin was… terrified. Not of what he saw but what the image represented to him. Since the demons were inside the side hall where the royal court was, she could only use her aura to order the royal seneschal.
Right now, she was standing next to Larkin, receiving the friendly words of the second captain. It… felt so surreal but awfully terrifying at the same time.
