Just thinking about yet another headache made Levis Ann want to leave this place entirely. But if she flew off the handle again, she felt she'd truly lose her mind. So she swallowed her rage and asked.
"What now."
"From Spica Castle...! Monsters have appeared at Spica Castle! They reportedly violated the Baron and have taken the people of the inner castle hostage!!"
"...God damn it."
When it rained, it poured. The uneasy suspicion she'd been trying to ignore had become reality.
'I've been thoroughly had.'
Even though she knew the enemy's main force had moved en masse through the portal, Levis Ann had focused on the siege. She had tried to destroy the portal and use the city as a base, but the enemy's fierce resistance and the growing number of rescued hostages had forced her to pull back temporarily.
"How is that even possible...? Are the castle walls just decoration?"
"The monsters reportedly appeared from within the castle."
