Lisa knew that she wasn't the real target of the Time Manipulators. It just happened that she was sensed by the two while investigating Vale's traces in the Royal Castle of the Ruri Kingdom…

Chad knew what Lisa was thinking, so he immediately explained what had happened over the past few years.

She learned that the Time Manipulators had already been enslaved by Vale and were now working tirelessly every day. This was also thanks to the messenger she had used to relay the message to Vale.

Lisa heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what had happened. She felt weakened once again after her body relaxed.

Chad then swiftly assisted her in lying on the soft bed that Aubrey had prepared.
