As soon as Lily reaches her floor, she notices Kro standing there, who says, "I've been looking for you, Lily."
"She knows," Lily whispers, looking around.
Kro comes closer to Lily and asks, "Who knows what?"
Lily swallows quietly and says, "Irina and Storm. They both know. Irina asked me today if I knew..."
"You know what?" Kro asks, instinctively moving closer to Lily.
"That the halves are forming," Lily answers, swallowing.
Kro pulls Lily to him and rests his head on her head and says, "It's true then. Storm represents a potential threat to us."
"Us?" Lily asks cautiously looking at Kro.
"To you and your kingdom. And to your future world empire," Kro quickly adds, and Lily quietly walks away from him, muttering, "I can't let this happen."
"You can't let a pure thirst for revenge control you either, Lily," Kro replies, crossing his arms over his chest.
Lily nods softly and mutters, "You're right.", then turns to the boy, "I'm not going to win this fight alone. I need allies. Loyal allies. "
Kro nods and says, "And I have an idea of how to determine that."
"Really?" Lily asks quietly.
"I am calling an emergency council meeting on your behalf to discuss the preservation of the Wendel Empire and its stability." Kro replies looking at Lily.
"And if they don't come?" Lily asks.
"Then we'll take them on. I'll let Marc make the necessary arrangements regarding the list."
Lily frowns and says, "I didn't know you'd ever try to talk to him."
"Like I said before, Lily - we're doing all this for your empire," Kro replies with a smile.
Lily nods quietly and says, "I'm going to talk to Vassili and Levi."
As Lily moves towards Lev and his team members, Vassili sits thoughtfully under the window until Irina approaches him and says, "Lily knows."
Vassili mutters something to himself and then pulls the girl into his arms.
Irina looks at Vasilli with a questioning expression and asks: "What's the matter, Vasya?"
Vasili sighs to himself and mutters: "Nothing like this would have happened to us if we had stayed in Russia."
Irina nods, resting her head on Vasili's shoulder and saying, "I like it here. I feel free here."
Vassilli whispers to Irina and kisses her on the forehead: "If you're happy here, then I have everything," and then stops his story for a moment, asking: "But how do you know that the halves are starting to form?"
Irina shakes her head and says: "I didn't know. Before, I sensed that something was going to go wrong, but when I saw Lily's expression, I knew."
"Did you tell Lily?" Vassili asks, turning the girl towards him.
Irina nods quietly, and Vassili asks again: "And Lev? Does he know too?"
Irina shakes her head and says: "I haven't told him anything."
"Don't you just want to? Or is there another reason?" Vassili asks, raising an eyebrow.
„Он изменился, Василий. И не в лучшую сторону." Irina answers quietly. ("He has changed, Vasily. And not for the better.")
Vassili nods his head in disbelief and looks towards the door where Lily is standing and says: „Мне нужна твоя помощь, Василий. Это срочно." ("I need your help, Vassili. This is urgent.")
Vassili nods quietly and asks: „Почему вы спрашиваете меня?" ("Why do you ask me?")
„Потому что ты один из тех немногих, кто может помочь мне с атаками. А также прикрывать мою спину во время сбора Криминальной Империи." ( "Because you are one of the few who can help me with my attacks. And also watch over my back during the gathering of the Crime Empire.") replies Lily, looking down.
Vassili sighs to himself and mutters: "Then let's go somewhere quieter. People here understand half a word of Russian."
