「Three days later.」
Yucatan Island, Torrent Fortress.
This large Edge Fortress had already completed its first layer of foundation and was beginning to lay the second layer of granite walls, its construction progressing so rapidly it seemed to change daily. Byron, still supervising the work, watched a group of Bear Spirit Warriors building at a pace comparable to large machinery, yet he felt unexpectedly restless.
Miss Jacqueline, a Chameleon and recent addition to his ranks, sat nearby, dejected like a frost-bitten eggplant. Even when vivacious, wild native beauties with bear ears walked by, she showed little reaction. She hadn't even whistled once the entire day.
Although their anxieties stemmed from different sources, they both revolved around the same person.
"Sigh!"
The pair of nominal cousins exchanged glances and simultaneously heaved a long sigh.
Byron turned his head to look towards the Tayman Archipelago.
