After the meeting with the Emperor and Albert, Nova and Elizabeth went to their rooms to rest. Nova kept glancing at Elizabeth, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
Elizabeth, as a Peak Cosmos Stage, caught him glancing at her and couldn't control herself anymore before asking.
"What do you want to ask me? Just say it."
"To be honest, I'm worried...If the tunnels are really in the entire Human Kingdom, then why didn't they use them until now?"
"Don't worry. They are at best only around the Kingdom, not 'inside' it. The Beastmens must've used other covert methods to make their way to the other cities and attack them." Elizabeth calmed Nova down.
"That's good to know. I was worried about Destiny, as she was currently in the Capital where there was little to no defense left as the other powerhouses gathered here." Said Nova, saying what tormented him. He couldn't imagine what he would do if he lost Destiny for a stupid reason like this.
