Biya entered the room.
The room was empty, the window left ajar. The living conditions in the Star Vortex Insect Nest were harsh, the air thick with fine dust. A thin layer of grime had settled on the floor from the wind blowing in… It was clear no one had lived here for some time.
All trace of her had vanished, as if she'd never been there at all.
He took a deep breath.
He couldn't tell if it was his body that ached, or his heart.
After lingering for a long while, Biya turned and returned to his chambers. He soaked in cold water for the entire night before he finally managed to suppress the feverish agitation.
The next day, he questioned every Servant in the palace, and even the base staff couldn't escape the King's interrogation.
A staff member named Kael answered respectfully that Miss Sang Luo had left long ago.
Biya's lips were pressed into a thin line, his face emotionless. "When did she leave?"
"Where did she go?"
