Reuniting with an old pet

The hall was brightly lit by magical lights of all kinds; in fact, the hall itself seemed like it had come straight out of a fantasy novel. Since Alice came to the Kingdom of Dante, she had modernized everything around her, enchanted by magic and nourished by the World Tree itself. The kingdom, already majestic, had become completely magical.

In the center, a long solid wood table was covered with maps and scrolls. It was here that Alice, Morgana, and Valentina tirelessly discussed how to protect the kingdom during Dante's absence.

Alice, the tireless strategist, maintained an upright posture as she analyzed the kingdom's defenses. Her eyes shone with determination, but there was a shadow of concern on her expression. "Two months," she said, breaking the silence as she ran her fingers over a map. "Two months since Dante descended to Hell. And in that time, our enemies haven't even shown their faces… this is starting to annoy me."
