PoV: Yaci
The three walk out of the portal to a room that has a direct connection to the king's room.
"Where is he?"
While Yaci asks the question to the person who stood guard, both Lovelace and Ingela focus on their mana sense, expanding it.
"I can 'see' him! He's just outside the window. Whoa, his mana really is so ugly!"
"Yeah, and already fleeing. Let's go!"
Lovelace knows the layout of these rooms, and Ingela has participated in the drills, so they already know the way to get to the outside and do the chase.
It goes through the king's bedroom, but he also knows the drill and the plan. That's why, when Lovelace opens the door that leads to the bedchamber, runs to the open window, and leaps through it, the king knows exactly what's going on.
The only thing that catches him off guard is that Aurea is not with Lovelace, and there's a beastkin with her instead.
In a split second, the three have already jumped out through the window and are running behind the vampire.
