THE TIME LIMIT

"YOU SEEM to have deciphered quite a lot of information from the drawings that you saw on the cave," Empress Audrey said. "What do you say if I appoint you as this mission's strategist?"

Excuse me?

Gypsy was shocked.

But she didn't have the backbone to be someone as important as a strategist, so she immediately shook her head after she recovered from the shock.

"I am deeply honored that Your Majesty recognizes my skills enough to be appointed as a strategist. However, I don't think I am fitted for the position," Gypsy said, then she bowed her head towards the empress. "I'm sorry, but I have to turn down Your Majesty's offer."

Aigoo.

It wasn't like she didn't want to help.

But she didn't know how long she was allowed to stay here. What if she suddenly disappeared in the middle of a mission? That would be irresponsible of her.
