บท 229: Nothing changed.

''…..The south…?....'' There was a brief pause in the drawing room, until Isla murmured in a daze. Her eyes were just wide opened as if she was in disbelief.

The south was attacked?

Her home was attacked?

How?

''Father….'' Isla looked at Finn for a thorough explanation. What did father mean by those words?

''I mean what I said, Isla. The south, our home is currently under an attack. I received reports about the entire empire being under an attack as well. We can't hear anything yet, because the rebels haven't reached this part of the capital.''

''Then what do we do?'' Isla asked immediately. ''Damien is missing, the south and the empire…'' Isla did not complete her words. She was positive her father understood what she was trying to say.

As a mother, her son was the most important.

But as a noble of the empire, the safety of the imperial family and the empire was the most important.
