Damien gave her a worried gaze but Willow reassured him with her usual smirk. "Lead the way" she said and followed the weary footman.

"You there" someone called over and swung from side to side. "Bring me to the emper-" he couldn't finish what he's saying as he doubled over and disgorged the content of his stomach.

"Count Fromelegant" the footman attended him swiftly and brought a towel out of nowhere.

The count, on the other hand, was still wheezing until he collapsed on his own vomit. Count Fromelegant, the owner of Florentine's mines and the father of Eleazar. It was not long after he was handed the title that some of his servants accidentally found a mana stone on his territory. This breakthrough was immediately reported and he was now living lavishly with the steady income from the mines. This made his only son to be spoiled to the roots. After all, the apple don't fall far from the tree.

"It's okay, I can manage" Willow spoke as he seemed to look uncertain because no servants were to be seen.

"But-" the timid footman tried to protest but the urgency from the latter is more powerful.

Sensing that they're more or less near the location, Willow coaxed the poor man.

"Things would be fine, just tell the direction"

His gaze hardened with determination and gestured forward "turn left then beyond it is the study of the emperor. Thank you for proceeding by yourself." Willow smiled in understanding and did as he instructed.

She arrived by the end of the hallway and was greeted by a heavy guarded double door. Before she can even go near, the guards halted her movement. Due to the moon being the only source of light, the dim light made her form look suspicious.

"Identify yourself, beyond this is a restricted area for guests." Someone came forward.

"Willow Liariaz, commander of the Crimson Dusk, at the beck of his majesty, the emperor" she answered as harmless as she could but one of the guards seemed to get a clear glimpse of her face, it was none other than Eleazar.

"You, what are you doing here" Eleazar, one of her students, interrupted and disrespectfully addressed her, thinking that he has much authority as a nobleman and a soon to be member of the Silver fangs.

Willow ignored him and looked at the first one to talk to her, "well?"

They flinched knowing that she was the new commander of the ebbing unit but they can't oppose Eleazar, a prominent noble, at the same time. She waited for an answer but they seemed dedicated to let a nobleman handle the situation.

"I'm talking to you" Eleazar didn't stop pestering her.

Being rudely interrupted and getting looked down, she doesn't deserve Willow's attention but she could do nothing but sigh in defeat. After all, it was she who decided not to make an enemy of anyone.

Willow faced the furious child and scanned his face. He looked like a pup who can't poop, gnashing his teeth in agitation.

"Pardon, your excellency? A bug flew pass and I was unfortunate not to catch what you had spoken" she added a bow to exaggerate. This made him more furious and about to unsheathe his sword when they were interrupted by the door opening.
