"I hope you'll help me kill the Emperor," Ziriel said to her first subordinate.
"Ethan Smith, I already figured out why you revealed yourself so easily, Young Master. Do you want forces to invade the Palace?" She responded, thoughtfully.
"Simon is with me, although he doesn't yet know that I'm Dante," Ziriel said, and Aaralyn seemed surprised. Despite keeping an eye on Ziriel, she hadn't yet checked who was with him.
"I understand. I recommend not involving him now," Aaralyn said, and Ziriel raised her eyebrows slightly, questioning: "Why do you say that?"
"Avalon is closed, no information comes in, and no information goes out. I tried to contact our private witches, but they denied any contact. Something might be happening during Simon's stay that prevents him from returning," Aaralyn commented. Ziriel, however, was curious about why this heartless Witch would raise such protections on the witches' continent.
