In the blink of an eye, five days passed...
During this period, things remained pretty much the same in Peters City while Viktoria waited for some help from the Rios family, the Leopoldine family, or the Church.
Unfortunately, none of them had answered her requests for help so far.
Meanwhile, her mother grew weaker every day, and Annaliese continued in a deep sleep, with no signs that she would awaken in the short term.
Viktoria had been enduring the anguish of not being able to do anything for them and was focused on the merger of the Frost family with House Ritter, something the elders had accepted after considering their options.
As such, they were currently working together to form that family while their headquarters was still under construction.
Amid this, news of what had happened to the Frost family in Peters City had reached the ears of the princes vying for the emperor's throne.
