I told the Queen everything that happened and her first response was to try and suffocate me by hugging my face to her chest.
"Oh my little Aster!! That must have been scary!! If only Mommy was here earlier!! Please forgive me!"
"Mnnghhh!!"
I feel like I've actually started becoming accustomed to this… That isn't good…
I managed to pry myself off of her and got Levianne to teleport us back to the palace in one piece.
"Mmm… I suppose it is a shame that we couldn't capture that Off-Worlder alive… Though it seems like he's not even the leader after all? Could he just be another member of the cult?"
I shrugged, "That could also be possible… He could just be some power hungry cult member who thought that he could become the leader after getting that artefact. Maybe that girl I saw was the real leader?"
"I suppose we won't know for sure now."
"She did call me a mortal though… Could she be an immortal being of some sort?"
