Emilia sat silently as the travelled closer to the city and her home, her mind caught in a whirlwind of things. Amy had already hinted that Noel was away due to some official work but she had always assumed it was because he did not want to be hurt seeing AJ and Amy together. But now she knew he had been undercover so that he could help her.
Oh, she understood that it wasn't 'her' he was specifically trying to protect but more like handling Clive who was a threat. And yet, she could feel the warmth inside her heart.
As they travelled further and further, she brought back her mind to the threat at hand and questioned Noel," Why did you make everyone leave the palace? Wouldn't it have been better if we had defended the place?"
"No. That would have given them a chance to escape and we would have been reduced to a vulnerable position. But now that all of Clive's people are inside, we will simply surround them and turn the tables."
