"How is she?" Azura asked worriedly as he proceeded to go inside Erin's hall.
Amaris smiled as she took a deep breath. "She's fine already. Julius told me that Erin had lost a lot of energy earlier. Her body was shock by the demon power that those masked men possessed."
Azura nodded. He glanced over Callan, who was looking in Erin's direction. He knows that they were both bothered by what happened earlier. Especially that they know that Erin's body was still weak.
"Callan you guard this hall. Ask Romeo to place more guards at the perimeters of the Realm," Azura instructed.
The man nodded, "I will ask Stephen to gather more troops and distribute them properly on each territory under us."
Azura agreed with the man's words. He left Svilgh hall afterward. Azura went to the dungeon, located at the bottom of his hall. He was the commander of their army. That's why the dungeon was beneath his place.
He knows that those masked men were only ordered to do this. With the risk that they need to get through, it seems like the ones behind were strong enough.
Azura had a word to Julius, earlier. The man said that the energy that struck Erin's body was powerful enough. And only high-ranking demons could learn how to master it.
Tilting his head to the side. It seems like he needs to talk to the Demon King once again. He should deliver what happen so then, they could properly investigate it. But what he needs to do right now was to try and make those masked men talk.

"Do you think Erin will wake up sooner?" Amaris asked cautiously at Callan.
Erin could hear some sounds in her surroundings, She tried to open her eyes even though it was a hard thing to do. A bright light made her eyes, shut tightly. It seems like she was still not used to it.
Minutes after before her eyes could totally adjust to her surroundings. Erin slowly opened her eyes. The first person that she saw was Amaris, who was standing at her side. The woman seems to notice the sudden move on the bed as she quickly averted her gaze in Erin's side.
With her eyes wide open, "Erin!" Amaris hurriedly went in the woman's direction with worried evident in her face.
"W-water," Erin said, her voice was quivering. Her head was pulsing with pain, the same with her back. The thing was she didn't know the reason why.
Erin couldn't remember what happened earlier after she opened her eyes. She can only recall how Amaris walked in her direction. And that was the last thing she remembered as darkness completely ate her mind, afterward.
In a panic, Amira's hands were shaking as she grabbed the water pitcher on the table near them. Almost spilling the liquid on the marbled floor because of her rapid movement.
"Are you okay now, Erin?" Amaris welcomed the woman with a question after she handed the glass of water.
Erin nodded, unable to form a word to answer. She drank roughly two glasses of water before her throat became at ease. That's the only time she had the initiative to open her mouth and say a word. "I'm alright."
"I'm going to call Julius, wait for me," Amaris announced. She stood up before taking a run outside.
Erin shook her head. 'The woman should have just teleported instead of wasting her energy.
Her eyes wandered around the room. The white curtains from afar were covering the window. Not letting any light coming from the outside, to enter. Taking a deep breath, a built of a man caught her attention.
"Why are you just staring at me, Callan?" She chuckled.
Callan's forehead creased. "You scared us!" the man uttered.
Erin smiled, "I'm sorry."
Calming himself down, "I will just follow Amaris. You know that the woman is always careless."
"Okay," The woman responded
She watched how Callan left the room after a moment. How long had she stayed unconscious? Erin didn't even know why she passed out. Her body feels exhausted. What an irony. She was sleeping senseless, yet she woke up feeling tired.
The masked man should be the reason why she felt that her body was weak compared to normal. But before she could even think more, Erin's attention was cut in half. Her eyes went into the door of her hall when she heard it being opened,
