That morning, three naval ships of Lireya along with a few helicopters headed toward the Verde Island. Half-way through their destination, a loud explosion was heard in the entire capital of Lireya.
Marx and Amaya ran out of the palace to take a look. Verde Island could be seen from Asteria Palace. Amaya was shocked when she saw the mountain covered in flames and smoke.
"Is that a volcanic eruption?" A palace servant asked.
"It doesn't look like one." another servant replied.
Within a few minutes, black cars started pouring into the palace's driveway. Marx pulled Amaya's hand. "Let us get back inside."
They hurried to the study behind the throne room where the meeting with the Defense Minister and the Generals happened earlier. Within thirty minutes, the generals were back.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, we deployed our naval ships and two of our submarines and they intercepted submarinesleaving the island. There are two submarines."
