Vane smirked, resting his elbow on the armrest and his cheek on his knuckle as he studied her.
"Who do you think I am, Your Highness? You don't need to worry about that. Everything is already in motion."
He gestured with his other hand, a sly smirk playing on his lips. "Your Highness? If you please?"
Celine raised an eyebrow before snapping her fingers gracefully, deactivating the silencing skill. As the shimmer faded, a low rumble echoed from outside, followed by the sound of crumbling stone.
"Hmm? What was that noise?" Celine asked, her eyes narrowing.
Vane stood up, adjusting his outfit before walking slowly toward the door. He paused, glancing over his shoulder with a confident smirk.
"Something interesting is happening, Your Highness. I'm sure it will make for an interesting entry in the official report."
Just as Celine was about to say something, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from outside the door, followed by muffled voices.
