The Empress gasped and almost fell to the ground. If it were not for Ms. Yu's swift actions, she would have fallen hard to the ground instantly.
"Empress, are you okay? Do you need me to call the doctor?", Ms. Yu asked, her eyes shining with concern.
"No, no. Just, Darion?", the Empress asked one more time. She was afraid her ears were playing tricks on her.
"Yes, Empress."
"But why are you so surprised?"
"You know Sir Darion, don't you…?", Ms. Yu asked.
The Empress nodded.
"I know him, but I didn't know that he was already back at the academy…", she said as she recalled Darion leaving the academy a few years ago – the time when he left the place and arrived at Beastatown.
The Empress nodded, this time, looking more determined.
"Yu, you need to help me to get there."
"I know. I told you it wouldn't be a problem-"
"I mean today. Let's set off today.", the Empress said as she gently gripped on Ms. Yu's hands.
Ms. Yu widened her eyes in shock.
