"I'm here."
A magical halo lit up, and Tilly made Olivia's image appear before everyone.
"I finally found you..." Olivia, seeing Elias safe and sound, finally let her guard down.
"Everyone, I'm sorry." Her expression was apologetic, "I can't leave the capital right now, so I won't be able to join you in facing the dangers of the Black Forest."
"It's okay, I'm here, that's enough," Tilly said nonchalantly. "With a crisis of divine proportions, you wouldn't be much help anyway. Just stay at home, no one will blame you."
"Are you comforting me, or are you mocking me..." Olivia muttered under her breath.
Isabella snorted, "You wouldn't let me leave the North back then, and now it's your turn to be stuck in the capital. How does it feel?"
"Now I can understand how you felt back then." Olivia gave a wry smile, feeling like it was all a huge boomerang coming back to her.
"Ha!" Isabella revealed a satisfied smile.
