Rayton still hadn’t returned.
Sez was left alone on the bed, her eyes swollen. The only thing she could do was stare at the closed door as if she had turned into a statue.
She had no idea where he had gone. She tried to follow him, but Philip stopped her. He had an immediate hunch that something might have happened to the emperor, so he rushed out to follow him after instructing her to wait in the bedroom.
Sez couldn't follow his instructions. She darted out of the bedroom, but the soldiers blocked her path. She was forced to return to the room with Marie, who was unaware of the situation.
Marie attempted to console Sez, who was drenched in tears, but Sez pushed her away. Left alone, Sez began to clean the bloodstains left by Rayton all over the floor.
