Inside the castle, the atmosphere was a stark contrast to the chaos outside. Brittany finally sat down in her chambers, her expression a mix of relief and exhaustion.
"Ugh… so this is what it feels like to be a king," Brittany muttered, sinking into her chair.
Amelia clapped her hands with a smirk. "Well, nice to see you getting used to it."
Alex glanced over at her, then at the glowing interface in front of him, his brow raised. "Seems the outside is still in turmoil. They're more than just mad." He checked the details on his screen:
[Quest Completed]
[Prevent the Ceremony from Mercenaries]
[Rewards: +++ Believer]
[Believers: 69,354] (Boost +++)
"Well," he added with a slight grin, "at least we got something out of it."
Brittany glanced at Alex, who was staring at the ground, deep in thought. Is he angry? Or frowning? She blinked, realizing there was a faint smile on his face instead.
