"What's going on?"
As soon as Alan arrived near Ironblood City, he immediately sensed powerful surges of mana pulsing from within the city at irregular intervals.
It felt as if individuals with strength on par with tier-platinum level were darting around inside.
Confused, he quickly made his way into the city. Just as he approached the gates, he happened to run into Third Princess Rosalia, who was leading a squad of patrolling soldiers.
The Third Princess gave Alan a quick once-over before asking coolly, "You alright?"
Alan nodded. "I'm fine. Ran into some trouble, but nothing too serious."
He glanced around and asked, "Did something happen in the city?"
The princess waved her soldiers away and gave Alan a subtle signal with her eyes.
The two of them returned together to her chambers.
