Levis and Moniqua were frowning the whole time they listened to Aernest's recollection of their trip. Obviously, they knew Amos and Earnest would have to fill in the blanks, but what they didn't expect was for the kids to encounter incidents every single day that they've been here. This was not what they had in mind when they sent the children to Zene.

Moniqua's face gave all her feelings away. But before she could look even guiltier, Aernest used his huge eyes to stare at her. His eyes laser stared as if saying 'Don't-feel-guilty!-You-sent-us-here-because-home-wasn't-safe!'.

Moniqua's heart clenched upon seeing Aernest attempts at comforting her. It was an unexplainable feeling seeing your child become very mature. She managed to squeeze out a tight smile before glancing down and accidentally meeting eyes with Eugene.

Likewise, Eugene was giving her the same look Aernest gave her.

'Ha...'' She exhaled gently as she shook her head. "How they've grown." She whispered as she lovingly stared at her children.

Levis felt the same way Moniqua did when an image suddenly flashed by his thoughts. With eyes furrowed, he muttered, "Stone figures. Real-life women." he paused for 3 full seconds before stating, "If I remember correctly, Emperor Zen has one statue sent by the King of Zene..."

His words made Eugene and Aernest stare at him with widened eyes! 'The Emperor got sent one?!' They thought in unison as goosebumps crept up to their arms!

'That Kal really is a psychopath! Thank god he is out of commission!' Eugene felt relieved as soon as she remembered that Kal was no longer in this world. 'Talking about out of commission though...' She glanced at her bandaged hands and sighed.

She still didn't know how to come around regarding her hand and Commander Kal. She didn't even know where to begin to think, theorize, or know whom to ask questions to! Now that she thinks about it... her body is creepier than Emperor Zen being sent stone figures!

The hall was quiet, confusing Aernest who was ignorant of why everyone was suddenly in their world and in deep thoughts. Disregarding everyone's personal time, he asked, "Is the King of Zene currently being treated, mother, father?"

To him, the King of Zene was one of the most pitiful people he's met in his 3 years of living. And he was genuinely concerned for him.

Levis smiled at Aernest gently before replying with his deep voice, "The King's health is being taken care of by his Royal physicians." He had met Louis and his group when they arrived at the main palace. They were also briefed about the incident that occurred inside the audience hall. According to Amos, the Royal physicians came as fast as lightning to take care of their King.

"What of the King's safety?" asked Eugene who was distracted from her 'personal' matters.

"Our soldiers are guarding the King together with Zene's knights." Levis smiled as he answered Eugene's smart question.

'So a temporary truce...' Eugene nodded at Levis's answer.

Levis gave her a half-smile and didn't continue. There were still many problems they had to deal with. And the biggest problem of all was the loss of two very important positions. The position that commands all of Zene's knights; dealing with the country's security and safety. And the position of the King's aide; personally assisting the King as well as commanding the Royal staff.
