"W-What was that?! An explosion?!"
Turning back time a little—in the main hall where Queen Sharika stayed, a commotion started just as Eve fired her first shot. All of the Queen's guards quickly moved, gathering around her for protection.
"Danger! Protect the Queen!"
"You! Quickly check what happened!"
"Gather more guards!"
As the guards were panicking, Queen Sharika only frowned on her throne.
She stared at the ceiling, almost as if she could see through the roof. Looking in the direction where the sound came from—the tower where Eve and the rest were.
After a few seconds of staring, she lowered her gaze and sighed.
"What is happening?" She asked casually, calm and collected.
"T-That...!"
Just when the guard was hesitating, unsure how to answer, another came running from outside, out of breath.
"T-There's a fight!" He shouted. "The outsiders are messing up the Grunion Stadium!"
"What?!"
