"The supervisor is inside the mine."
"The mine?" Flora's heart sank.
"Yes." They nodded. One of them stepped forth while explaining, "Because of the shake not long ago, a part of the mine collapsed. He was bringing people in to rescue the workers."
Flora bit her lips. 'The situation doesn't look good. In this scenario, the last thing you want to do is go into the mine. Not only the earthquake, but the alien can also cause another collapse. It's especially true with an alien of that size… What should I do? Should I go to the mine?
'But Nathan and Serafina will be in danger. Should I abandon them? The mission will be considered a failure.'
As a royal, she understood that her own life had a higher priority. She didn't lack people who would sacrifice their lives for her sake.
However, it didn't mean she could just abandon them like this.
Even though they weren't her subjects, she was still tied to a contract.
