"Nothing, you say? Then how are we supposed to get to Falling Star Academy?" Seira asked, struggling to contain her anger.
Robert scratched his temple.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. There's really nothing I can do. B-But I guarantee you'll be able to leave by tomorrow morning! P-Please give me one more chance!"
He bowed his head, his body trembling.
Already fed up with his excuses, Seira waved her hand and turned to leave.
Rafine shot Robert a cold glance before following after her.
Once the two were out of sight, Robert's remorseful expression vanished, replaced by a mocking smile.
"What fools," he sneered, straightening up. "I'm sure they never suspected I hid the magic stones in Colvar Forest."
Yes, it had all been an act. The magic stones needed to activate the teleportation portal were still there, hidden deep within Colvar Forest not far from the city.
His earlier claim about asking Falling Star Academy for help had also been nothing but nonsense.
