The Shadow nodded, his gaze fixed on the Emperor.
"I will see that it is done, Your Majesty," he said.
The Emperor smiled, a cold smile. "I don't doubt it, my dear. I don't doubt it."
Nox was being led away by two Imperial Guards toward the dungeons located in the palace's underground when an alarm sounded.
"What's going on?" one of the guards, who was dragging Nox, asked his companion.
"I have no idea. Something important must have happened," the other guard replied.
Nox, who had been following them docilely, suddenly stopped upon hearing the alarm.
"Hmm, they must have already noticed Tilda's dummy body in her private suite and Tiffa's disappearance. As astute as they are, even though I asked Lyra to stage the scene, they will quickly realize that this body is not hers and will issue a search warrant for Tiffa. By now, Tilda must have already escaped the palace. Should I continue my game with the Emperor?"
