The AGENT was a massive stone statue made of bronze, erected in the middle of the room and surrounded by black trees and bronze spears planted into the ground. The moment Ginger and Akasha walked into the room, the statue came to life as its eyes glowed red. Its head didn't move, but the pupils did, looking down with a faint glow.
"Scarlet, Former Princess of Blood." The AGENT spoke, a deep voice gargling from inside its chest. "What brought you here?"
Ginger walked forward. "It's good that you remember me. Can we get to the main room directly? I need to retrieve the mask; there is this dragon we need to take down."
The AGENT was silent for a whole minute before it spoke again, and this time, it sounded even deeper. "Your request had been rejected. I've gone over it thirty-five times, and there is one failure point."
He then became silent for a few seconds. "With Vlad's defeat and death, his authority has been revoked, and so was yours."
