Bab 250: Shall we?

Snowflake, Ares, Venus, and Stefan materialized in the Videnia garden, surrounded by the eerie silence of the ice statues. Their gazes swept across the frozen figures, taking in the familiar faces of Katherine, Mirabella, and the Treacherous Four who were also present.

Mirabella couldn't believe her ears. "No! No, I can't lose Isabella like this!"
