Once he said he was going, Marcus immediately followed. And Lucien was already on the warship.

In the end, Malrik and Edric stayed behind to help Corvin pack. Some of the things they needed to bring tomorrow were Emma’s.

With Silas gone, neither of them felt comfortable leaving Corvin to handle it alone. They were honestly worried he would make mess of it. What if he suddenly loses it and packs a whole fleet of mechas to Ravaryn tomorrow? I heard he has done that before

If I can boost the defensive system a little more, it will be perfect.” “Stop staring at it. Your warship is already long gone. Go home and finish packing

“Right, I’m on it.” Corvin nodded quickly, spun on his heel, and hurried back to the castle.

On board the warship, Alaric knew Emma would be accompanying Corvin back to Ravaryn the next day. He worried she would not get enough rest.

So the moment they boarded, he told her to lie down. “Emma, get some sleep first. We will wake you once we catch up to Drake. She really did need to conserve her energy. She gave a slight nod and headed to the lounge.

The lounge on this warship had been custom–designed by Corvin just for her. It was spacious and warmly decorated, with soft ighting and comfortable furnishings that made it feel almost like home. Honestly, it was even nicer than the room she used to have on F–268 and the villa.

Alaric had intended to stay with Emma, but Kieran stepped in and blocked him.

Marcus glanced at the two of them, then walked straight past without a word and headed into the lounge to keep her company.

He turned and headed toward the lounge area.

Lucien was already there, sipping coffee with a book in his hand. When he saw the two of them retur, he fed eyes brey then went right back to reading

Calum was in the central control room, piloting the warship. He had no idea what had fortheened on this side of the ship

A few hours later, aboard Drakonid’s airship, one of Drakonid’s dan members herred over and reported to Sebastian, “Grand Elder, Ms. Emma Tibarn’s airship has caught up to us again.”
