Kapitel 1690: In the Lion’s Den (Part 2)

"Don't worry about what happened yesterday. The important is that you are here now." Jirni said.

"I'm sorry for not visiting you earlier, Mom." Quylla gave her a deep bow. "Dad kept me confined inside the army headquarters until Phloria broke me out. The silver lining is that at least now I know what's happening.

"Maybe if you can help Dad with his mission he will-"

"Shush, child!" Jirni put her hand on Quylla's mouth while glaring at her. "You spend too much time in your magical lab and too little in the real world. Think before you speak."

Phisa was still in the room, exactly like planned.

"I'm sorry, Lady Ernas." The maid gave them a bow for outstaying her welcome. "I'll take my leave now. Call me if you need anything."

"We'll take some tea but no pastries to not ruin our appetite." Jirni said, going off script and making her daughters almost flinch in surprise.

"It will be done." The maid gave them one last bow and left the room.
