After I left the North Dragon's back, Mia jumped behind me.
Her eyes were bloodshot. Without a shadow of a doubt, had I not calmed her down, she would've jumped Erik.
Though honestly, I was also struggling to hold back.
Miwen: "Wake up, Liz. I might need your help."
I patted the Demon Queen asleep on my shoulder.
At the same time, I shook the old man awake in my hand.
Liz: "Your Majesty...? I apologize. It seems I've-"
As her eyes opened, she came across the same nightmarish scene I had seen when I arrived.
I knew Elizabeth well enough to understand that she'd have conflicted feelings about how ungracefully I was carrying her.
However, she remained silent, showing me she was solely focused on the girls.
Thanks to her, I could focus on Erik.
Erik: "...Adriarch, what are you doing?"
Still holding Claire by the neck, his gaze shifted from me to the Colonel.
Adriarch: "Hahah! Sorry, kid. The young lady and I got a little ahead of ourselves..."
