"Really?"
"Yes, Leo wouldn't lie to you, Miss Cecilia Branford."
Sophie Sullivan lowered her eyelids. Perhaps she was overthinking things. "Okay, when Lucifer wakes up, have him call me."
"Yes, Miss Cecilia Branford."
After hanging up the phone, Leo looked at Lucifer, who was buttoning the last button on his shirt. "Your Highness, Miss Cecilia Branford didn't suspect anything."
Lucifer's refined features were tinged with a sickly pallor. He nodded, his thin, scarlet lips pressed into a line. He said nothing more and turned to leave.
"Let's go."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Derek Clark remained in the Imperial City with a group of guards, ready to serve Miss Cecilia Branford at any time.

As soon as Thomas Shannon stepped into the main hall, he saw Sophie Sullivan staring off into space, lost in thought. She didn't even notice his entrance.
"What are you thinking about?" Thomas Shannon stood in front of her and, with his index finger bent, tapped lightly on her head.
THUMP.
