In front of her now stood a newcomer. A man with short black hair, two fox ears standing atop his head, radiating a wild aura.
"Sorry for the delay, princess," he said, briefly turning towards Itotia. "I hope the heir hasn't suffered too much damage," he continued, glancing at her stomach.
"What do you mean?" she asked, short of breath.
The man handed her a vial filled with a bluish liquid.
"Just regain your strength, Princess Quara, the Chieftain sent me to fetch you. The mission is complete."
"What mission?" she asked, growing more confused as she looked at the potion.
"First, I need to deal with that bastard from the Glacium clan!" he said, glaring at the ice-wielding stranger who was already rising, furious.
The fight resumed, even more intense than before.
