Squeezing her face in frustration, Lily pushed through the crowd as her neck elongated trying to follow Denise.
She followed her into a narrow and secluded alley and eventually lost her.
Sighing in defeat, she turned back to leave when Denise suddenly showed up out of nowhere and blocked her path.

Lily knew why she was angry but as much as she wanted to fulfill the task she was given, it was not a walk in the garden with the target being the royal family.
"I didn't abandon my mission I just..." Lily said with her eyes wavering as she searched for words to say. She always felt breathless whenever she was before Denise.
