The Empress received Roland and Sif in her bedchamber, which made Roland somewhat surprised.
But Sif understood that the Magic Mirror had just gained control over the Puppet Demon Doll, and wasn't flexible, able only to sit on the bed like a wooden stump.
Seeing Roland's uneasy demeanor, Sif smiled and said, "Since Her Majesty doesn't mind, there's no need for you to overthink it. She must have her reasons for doing this."
Upon entering the bedchamber, Roland immediately understood the reason.
Her Majesty the Empress was unwell, wrapped in a thin blanket sitting by the bed, her face somewhat pale.
The moment he saw the Empress, Roland's first impression was shock.
Sylph and Sif couldn't be said to merely resemble each other; they were completely identical.
But they only shared appearances; their temperaments were entirely different.
Sif was a vibrant and youthful girl, whereas Sylph didn't exhibit a trace of energy.
