"What?!" Blanche exclaimed, getting up from her seat and slamming her hands down on the table. "Nyx is here?!"

"Nyx!" Amano he said, pointing at her, waving his hand as he tried to remember who that was. "Our, uh, sister!" He paused, looking around for confirmation. All he saw were blank stares from the rest of the group, followed by Akemi making a gesture to keep going.

"...in law?"

Akemi nodded, raising her hand from below the table and giving him a thumbs up.

"Our sister-in-law!" He repeated, practically jumping out of his seat. "She's come to save us!" This excitement wasn't from the fact that their supposed sister-in-law was coming to save them, but from the fact that there was finally something that was different from dealing with the royals here in Yeet. While they were nice enough, there was not much he could learn here, what with his incompatibility with their holy texts. Plus, the royals themselves were...well, they just rubbed him the wrong way. Especially that Blanche girl. God, she was so mean. Anyways, meeting another person from Yami would be a nice change of pace.

Albus just ignored this sudden outburst, turning over to look at his sister. "Blanche, follow me outside, but bring a few soldiers with you just in case." He then gave a stern look towards Kleine. "Escort Moros and Keres with us outside."

Kleine gave him a curt nod. "Of course, sir."

"Uh, excuse me?" Akemi tilted her head to the side. "What?"

"Come on, let's go you two!" Blanche called out to them as she made her way out of the dining hall. Kleine gave Akemi an apologetic look as he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up from her seat.

"Hey! Come on man!" Akemi protested.

"Nothing personal, kid." Kleine said, giving her a small smile as he grabbed Amano as well and dragged him along as well.

"I can't believe...you would use that line against us," Amano said, pretending to shed a non-existent tear. "How could you?"

Kleine sighed, leaning in close to them and whispered, "Relax, you two

Kleine sighed, leaning in close to them and whispered, "Relax, you two. I'll try and make sure nothing bad happens to you. It probably won't come to that, anyways."

"Probably?!" The twins looked at each other, worry in their eyes.

The trio had followed Albus for what seemed like an hour, although in reality like, five minutes, with Blanche joining them a few minutes later. They walked through the hallways, the soldiers around them wary with their hands close to their weapons at all times. The twins could feel the stares from the soldiers piece them, making them feel awkward and small. Still, during that time, the twins took the chance to ask some more questions of their hosts - or perhaps, at this moment, captors.

"How was Nyx even able to get here?" Akemi asked. "I'm assuming she has soldiers with her, since you guys are also bringing some along with you, so how?"
