"|My prince.|"
"{Zoemi, perfect timing – I am back in the royal castle for a few days and the royal magician will begin testing the magic barrier any minute now so you might not be able to reach me - how the situation looks on your end?}"

"|Everything seems to be in order, puppets were a bit pouty because their body had to age back to their original state so that the three bandits in the backup hideout wouldn't notice the difference, but thanks to that they are gathered and no one expects a thing. Same with the one supposedly infiltrated the Epsine castle. We are good to go.|"
The black-haired boy smirked to himself and reported.
"{Good. Victureo took a bit of time to convince, but apparently, Ehmi learned about the situation and demanded from her father to cooperate. Don't tell Miriette but I think she has a thing for you.}"
