Red Montgomery folded his arms and leaned back lazily in his seat.

Specter shrugged helplessly. “The Guide made a demand just now. No harm is to come to her personal guard p>
One of the rebels let out a quiet huff. “She sure cares a whole lot about that Sentinel p>
The more she showed that concern, the deeper their resentment burned.
If Hadrien hadn’t stepped in and messed everything up, they would be the ones sharing that close bond with her right now.
At the moment, Hadrien’s spirit animal stood in their way.
Without that Tier–3S nightmare beast, their original plan could move forward without obstruction.
Specter added, “From what I can tell, if we move against Hadrien, she will side with Hophrin p>
Reid gave a dry, amused chuckle. “Is that so p>
He was surprised by how much that personal guard meant to her.
“Then all we have to do is make sure it can’t be traced back to us p>
Nael had taken his Star Brain.
Lyra didn’t want to contact anyone with her own device.
Even though he had promised he would stop snooping through her data, his word carried little weight.
That was the main reason she had left her own Star Brain untouched for so long.
The prime minister’s death had come out of nowhere.
Deep down, she had always anticipated such an end for him, yet the reality still struck without warning.
To die right as war loomed would crush troop morale.
. A new prime minister had not yet been elected. What would become of Core Prime next?
What moves would the rebels hiding within the Core Prime make?
And what would become of her once this crisis ended?
Lyra tossed and turned in bed, her mind in complete turmoil.
Nacl never returned that night.
He only turned up in the early morning, worn thin, clearly having not slept a wink.

Lyra was about to ask what had happened when Nael noticed the heavy red rims lining her eyes.
“Don’t you get any rest last night p>
Lyra shook her head, a faint trace of guilt in her expression.
Nael sighed softly. “Do you struggle sleeping when we’re not around p>
Lyra nodded quickly.
Seeing her response, Nael brushed his fingers gently across her cheek, heavy with remorse,
“I’m truly sorry. I will likely have to stay over there for several more days p>
Lyra wanted to ask if it concerned the prime minister.
But she maintained secret contact with the rebels–the very group responsible for killing his father.
She held her tongue.
She gave his hand a light, small swing to signal she understood.
Nael studied her with obvious concern. “Why don’t you take the day off? Catch up on sleep p>
Lyra shook her head.
She pulled out paper and a pen and wrote, “It’s fine. I’ll rest during my midday break.
Nael exhaled. “All right. Don’t push yourself too hard.
“I brought you breakfast. I’ll leave after I watch you finish it p>
Lyra’s chest warmed.
Even amid this catastrophe, he had remembered to bring her food.
“ Have you eaten? ”
Nael had no appetite, but lied so she would not worry. “I already ate p>
Lyra sat down quietly and ate.
All the while, she watched him repeatedly glance down at his Star Brain, firing off quick replies.
She finished her meal in a few hurried bites and scribbled, “I’m done. You should go p>
Nacl frowned. “Why are you rushing? You p>
Lyra stepped forward and gently steered him toward the doorway.
“Go handle your work I can take care of myself. Please don’t burn yourself out p>

Lyra nodded firmly.
Na held her gaze, reluctant to leave, before boarding his hovercar.
Zane walked over and held out his own Star Brain. “Ms. Kaelin, you are welcome to use mine p>
Lyra accepted it without hesitation and typed quickly. “Thank you so much p>
Zane shook his head. “It’s the least I can do. No thanks needed p>

Lyra hurried back to her bedroom, set the robot to clean the living space automatically, then rushed back outside.
“Let’s go p>
“Understood.” Zane nodded.
On their route, a message popped up on Zane’s Star Brain from Nael.
“Could you pass your Star Brain over to Lyra for me p>
Lyra typed right away, “This is Lyra. What’s going on p>
Nael replied, “Julian cannot reach you. He asked me to relay that the Sentinel profiles for your appointments have been sent to your device p>
Lyra replied, “I’m already en route. I don’t want to turn back. Are there any critical points I should know p>
Nael had guessed as much.
“Your appointments are scheduled for this afternoon. Also p>
Lyra replied, “Go ahead. Tell me p>
Nael replied, “They have unilaterally assigned five Sentinels for your purification sessions. Additionally, to keep your circumstances confidential, the sessions will run under heavy cover. None of the Sentinels will know your identity p>
Lyra blinked in quiet shock.
Other Guides only handled two at a time. Her assignments had more than doubled.
A bitter, humorless smile rose inside her. “ Understood p>
Nael replied, ‘You have every right to turn this down. Just show up, sign in, and ignore those people p>
Lyra sent, “It is fine. They are deploying to the battlefield. I should help them p>
Should–not must.
Nael understood perfectly–she was doing this for Hadrien.
Alright Stop immediately if you feel unwell. Don’t force through pain p>

Their exchange ended.

The hovercar carried Lyra straight to Black Spire for her pre–arranged standard purification for two heavily contaminated Sentinels.
Because she hadn’t slept well, even those adorable fluffy creatures failed to keep her spirits high throughou the purification.
She sat slumped in her chair, listless and worn–out, every ounce of energy drained away.
Zane stepped closer and lowered his voice. “Ms. Kaelin, would you like to pause and rest?
Lyra lifted her heavy, drooping eyelids and shook her head.
She propped her chin in one hand, resting her other palm atop the calm spirit animal sitting before her.
Before long, her head grew foggy and heavy. Sleep pulled hard at her.
She hope lunch.

Her whole body felt limp, and she had no hunger anyway.
Her vision swam, and she swayed sideways, colliding against Zane’s waist.
She tilted her head upward, her eyes still glazed over with exhaustion.
