Lunafama Shadow Guardian

Aeka's sleeping draught proved to be exceptionally potent. Throughout the journey back to Châteauclair, Crown Princess Kanami, Prince Ocelot, and Prince Rudy remained deeply unconscious, their expressions betraying no awareness of their predicament. Vergil, with his ever-calm demeanor, directed the convoy straight to Châteauclair, the heart of the Britalienne Empire.

As the sun dipped toward the horizon, casting a golden glow over the imperial palace, the convoy arrived at the grand gates. Guards immediately recognized Vergil and stepped aside, granting him swift entry. His reputation preceded him, and no questions were asked.

Vergil, carrying the slumbering princes with practiced ease, and Freya, carefully holding the unconscious Crown Princess, made their way through the gilded halls of the palace. They arrived at a private chamber where Empress Elisa II awaited them, her regal presence commanding even in the intimate setting.
