The restless summer wind blustered through the night as the sun gradually rose in the sky.
Then it was late morning, then high noon, and finally, sunset.
Ever since dusk the previous night, people living near the Governor's Mansion had been shouting, "Earthquake! Run for your lives!" and many fled seeking refuge.
The earthquake lasted for most of the night, with intermittent aftershocks continuing until dawn. Although the tremors subsided considerably after daybreak, faint ones could still be felt occasionally.
It wasn't until a full day and night had passed, late the following evening, that the tremors finally began to subside.
This was all because Miss Violet, who reveled in chaos, used her Queen's Authority to activate the National Border Lock, cloaking the entire Governor's Mansion. Consequently, no one could pinpoint the earthquake's source.
