Chapter 387.2
“The monster won’t relent in its pursuit of me and Flora,” Eugene muttered, her gaze drifting to her hands. She possessed an unknown advantage, a powerful card hidden up her sleeve.
“Lamita of the Sea…” she murmured, considering the possibility of turning the monster into wood herself. Her thoughts meandered before she shook her head, acknowledging the uncertainty of success.
What if she failed? What if success came at the cost of her own life, leaving behind her newly found family—parents, brothers, husband, and child? The prospect of becoming a sacrifice for the monster weighed heavily on her. Above all, she knew Kasser would never consent to such a plan.
Resuming her focus, Eugene picked up her pen and inscribed her thoughts in the notebook.
[Is there no activity within the Holy City while the magic remains active? Has Sang-je made any demands?]
[It’s still eerily quiet.]
[There must be conditions it seeks to impose. Keep me informed of any changes.]
[I’ll keep you updated. Try not to worry too much and remain calm.]
Closing the notebook, Kasser sighed inwardly. He had lied to her. Days ago, envoys dispatched by Sang-je had demanded the presence of the Anikas under the guise of divine command. With no viable solution in sight, informing Eugene of this would only burden her with unnecessary worry, potentially jeopardizing her health, especially given her heightened sensitivity after pregnancy.
