It was strange.
The city's alarm bells had begun ringing violently, and the moment Serena, the Queen of Storms, heard them, she'd rushed off, mentioning that this was already the fourth time today.
The capital possessed formidable defenses. Its walls were incredibly difficult to breach, and security throughout the city was exceptionally tight. I could hardly imagine anyone managing to get past all those defenses, which left me wondering what kind of threat they were dealing with.
Glancing toward Asterion and Kevin, I noticed that both wore similarly puzzled expressions. They were trying to understand what was happening, since neither of them knew why the alarm bells had sounded.
But they didn't dwell on it for long.
"Whatever. I'm sure Serena can handle the situation."
Asterion sighed before gesturing for everyone to follow him.
"Come on, brats. The Emperor and his piglets are waiting for us."
