Josiah, who came up behind him, dusted the dirt off her clothes.
“You handled everything?” he asked.
“Yeah. I burned it all down without leaving any traces. They won’t be able to pick back up from where they left off, even if they want to.”
Most of the research data had been stored there. Losing the materials kept at the location meant that even if the Bosta Kingdom changed its mind, it’d be nearly impossible to restart the research.
“Honestly, even if the research data survived, it’d still be hard for the Bosta royal family to restart anything.”
Josiah wasn't sure what he meant. “Why?”
“Once the International Federation and the Holy Empire catch on, they’ll dedicate themselves entirely to tearing it all down with everything they’ve got. What could the Bosta Kingdom possibly manage to do after that?”
The Bosta royal family would likely deny everything, but their past actions and experiences would make them tread carefully regardless.
“Go back,” she suggested to Mit.
“Me? I already left House Chyde, you know.”
Josiah frowned. “Your father faced Teacher himself in order to save you and your sister. So go back, get on your knees, and beg.”
