Mirage Shadow remained silent, unsure of how to respond to Ace anymore.
After all, she was following the Dread Duchess's instruction never to let him leave their sight, but she didn't dare to meddle in the business of an Abyssal King, not even the Dread Duchess!
In the end, she replied with the only possible response she could think of at that moment, "Please give me a moment, I'll need to contact her highness. This matter can't be decided by me alone."
"Sure." Ace dismissively nodded as if he wasn't worried about the Dread Duchess's response at all.
However, inwardly, he was still vigilant and slightly nervous, fearing the Dread Duchess might demand to see his master's mission personally. Yet, the chances of that happening were close to none, as even she wouldn't dare to question an Abyssal King!
