At midnight, in a luxurious inn room in Lake City.
Isotta and Alden were sitting on a sofa.
Alden, clad in pajamas, looked somewhat agitated as he asked, "Isotta, have we received the orders from above?"
Isotta's expression was grave. She interrupted Alden, saying, "This afternoon, Alexander got into another fight, leaving Nine Rings Mountain in utter ruin..."
"Bang!" Alden slammed his hand on the table, standing up with a dark expression, "I've said it before, Alexander never took our warning seriously! We should have arrested him a long time ago!"
"Your wish is about to come true," Isotta spoke calmly, "What Alexander did today has infuriated our leader."
"He has given us orders."
"Tomorrow morning, we are to proceed with Alexander's arrest immediately!"
...
When Alexander returned to the inn, it was already 1 a.m. the next day.
