Cressida finally managed to gather her courage and ask Victoria to permit her to go back to the dungeon.
Victoria is not convinced about Cressida's protection even though she now has two Aeons as her bodyguards.
Victoria: "I'm not saying no, but give me a few days so that I can maybe investigate this issue further."
"I promise you that it won't take long."
Cressida and Karina left Victoria's chambers after chatting with her for a while. As the day continued, Victoria personally went around and met Aliya as she was dueling the army general. During their interaction, Victoria expressed her gratitude for Aliya's protection of Cressida. Following this, Victoria also met Rex the next day and exchanged a few thoughts about the incident with him. They discussed the events surrounding Cressida's ordeal and Rex assured Victoria of his dedication to ensuring Cressida's safety in the future.
