"What is it?" Getting impatient, he asked. 

"Damien is not in the mansion, do you know what the emergency is? The elders won't disclose it," she managed to find out about Damien leaving the mansion, but she wasn't told the real reason he left, which bothered her. 

At least, if she knew what the emergency was for, she could manage to help Aurora.
