"Hieeeek—" An icy current went up and down my spine the moment I heard the scream. Feeling several gazes on me, I felt all hair on my body rise and my heart seized to beat for a split second. But it was only momentary. Before I even had a chance to react, the others opened their mouths and screamed. "Hieeeeek—" One, two, three... The entire room was plunged into a sea of screaming. Squench. Squench. Roots sprouted from the ground, taking hold of my entire body, only stopping at my face…-

"Princess...?" Everyone's attention was focused on Aoife who tried her best to keep her composure. Feeling the pressure that was bearing down on her from the post leaders, she withstood it all and tried to act as calmly as possible. "Don't move. Everyone stay here. That's an order." "Excuse me?"

"....Do you still have nothing?" The secretary asked outside of the detention room. From the tone of his voice, he appeared rather flustered and rushed. Javier shook his head. "Nothing yet. I've tried multiple methods, but he doesn't budge." "This is problematic." Pacing around, the secretary mumbled to himself, "Post Leader will be disappointed if we don't have anything soon.

"Did you manage to find anything?" A stern man with greasy hair and a round belly greeted Javier by the end of the main hall of the inner area of the bunker. He was the main secretary of one of the Post Leaders stationed at the bunker. To be precise, he was the secretary of the Black Hound Guild. "No, nothing yet." Javier answered while taking off his gloves. Turning back to stare at the door that led to the room where the cadet was currently detained, he pursed his lips. ".....I tried using a…
