As planned, Ezme and Levi accompanied Katelina as Bella opened a shimmering portal, leading them directly to Lambert's Manor. The portal swirled with vibrant energy before depositing them near the pond. It was the exact location Floria had described in her message sent through Bella.
Katelina scanned the area, her eyes falling on Floria standing nearby. Her face was pale, her hands trembling as she held a lotus flower that radiated an ethereal glow. Beside her, slumped unconscious in a chair, was a blonde woman. Katelina immediately assumed her as Lumina, the body of the soul occupying Floria's body.
"Floria's soul," Katelina murmured, her gaze locked on the glowing lotus flower. The delicate petals seemed to pulse with life, holding Floria's essence within.
