While Arabelle was mobilizing her troops, she had completely missed the scene of battle. Thus, she was utterly clueless as to what had transpired during the small timeframe she wasn't watching.
"W-What happened here? The battle is already over? These scorched witches… bear the mark of Calarook. Did Her Majesty return and quell the dissidents?"
Arabelle and her battle witches were astonished and shocked by the fiery carnage, which they immediately assumed to be the work of Queen Henrietta.
However, the possibility was quickly dashed when they gave it more thought; it simply didn't make sense.
"Lord Vahn did this…?" Arabelle muttered with a frown.
She may have greatly underestimated Vaan's strength, but she wasn't sure if killing so many witches was in their best interests, even if she wanted them dead for herself.
Vaan's power display to restore order could backfire.
"Grandmother…"
"Lillias, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
