She reeled from the shock, then her mind centered on one thought—Ulissa was in danger.

She couldn’t rest passively anymore. She had to find Ulissa, and if possible, rescue her. But that would be possible only if she made a plan. She didn’t have much time to do so—she had only until morning to escape with Ulissa—so she had to think quickly.
