"You don't call the shots here, Alpha Prince. So I'll suggest you keep calm... Or we'll send them to you. In pieces."

Not the desire to follow their words.
Not even the desire to rescue Elian and Aurora on time... Although that one was still at the back of his mind.

And he had an idea who it was despite the voice being distorted.
"Estella," Lucian said plainly to Beta Axel as they waltzed to the tech wing of the palace. "I'm telling you, your sister has gone insane. Scratch that, she's been insane."
"And like I said before, I believe you," Axel said with a sigh, managing a small smile at a few maids they walked by in the golden-lit hallway. "But is there really anything we can do?"
