"Tell me, where you are and what is the problem?"

"….Are you alone?" Mika lean into the screen and lower her voice.

Lyra looked away from the monitor and to the side. Mika could soon see Pia leaving the room and closing the door behind her.

"Okay...speak."

"I am with Prince Ailwin, on his military vessel…"

"...The King had sent Ailwin on a mission, which was really a plan to kill him. I took a leave from the academy to help him…"

"Why did you go?"

"...to help-"

"No, Mikaela. Why did YOU have to go to help him? I'm sure the Prince Ailwin has many soldiers under his control and allies to help him. Why did you involve yourself?"

 Lyra was angry. She knows what the Royal family and their followers are capable of. She wanted her daughter nowhere near them.
