Do I really have no choice but to act myself?
Either I find the bombs and disable them.
Or—at the very least—I make contact with Anna and coordinate from there.
No matter what it takes, I need to get into the Imperial Palace.
Sneaking in wouldn't be the problem. With invisibility magic, slipping past guards and wards should be manageable. Risky, but doable.
The real issue was something else entirely.
"The problem is… where exactly they've hidden the bombs," I muttered.
If they were scattered throughout the palace—or worse, placed somewhere critical—charging in blind would be suicide. One wrong move, one delayed response, and everything would be over.
Then—
"Should we find out?"
I turned toward the voice.
"What?" I asked. "You mean you?"
"Well, not me exactly," Feiz said lightly, a crooked smile tugging at his lips. "But we do have a specialist on our team."
…A specialist?
I stared at him, confusion plain on my face.
