As I remembered how deadly Aki was in battle, Vincent added a few more tidbits that I never expected.
"My lord, after we separated from Lady Aki, phantoms from the White Guard also captured my people."
"White Guard?"
"They are the elite unit serving the princess of the North American battle front. Their fighting skills are rumored to be on par with the Specters."
"Why would they bother with your men at all?"
"It seems that our attempts to find you were tracked on both the Grave Network and the Surface Web. There have been reports of an elite hacker recently taking over the Graveyard."
"..."
Bella told me that they wanted to protect Earl's family. My heart felt warm at the Sirens' immediate action. At times like this, I remembered that these wonderful women were all in my corner.
