Chapter 43: Hidden Archive (IV).
Elizabeth's POV
The emperor reveals himself where he was hiding, I grit my teeth and glared at him not finding out his presence sooner.
Not him! How long was he hiding in the shadows?!
Victoria wasn't one to hurt her friends-
And if I use my ice magic he'll know what we were up to at this time of night.
"I asked if you found what you're looking for." He raises his hand, chanting something and soon several floating ice spikes surround him. "To think I was just going to my study because I forgot my favorite fountain pen-"
Victoria signaled towards the door and I was about to open it but the door knob was suddenly covered in ice.
"I wasn't expecting to catch a couple of rats looking for crumbs."
"Hah… hah…" The private study was soon covered in ice too.
I wanted to ask Victoria what to do next since the door as an exit was hopeless!
