The hours ticked down once again, only this time, Rael was not as fazed as before.
In fact, he was pretty calm despite what had happened.
He just really wished he had gotten to talk more with Melissa, but that was beside the point.
Since he still had nearly ten hours left until the fourth trial started, he wanted to make the most out of it.
And that was exactly what he did.
Scanning the palace, he quickly located Anastasia. She was alone in a room, and as for Lucien, he was outside the palace, relaxing on a bench.
Since the Prophetic Realm was unreliable, he didn't go for Lucien and instead vanished from sight, reappearing in front of Anastasia's room.
He knocked on the door once, twice, and right as he was about to knock a third time, the door abruptly opened.
Anastasia stood opposite him with a massive frown on her face. All the while, she wore a thin gown, and from her messy hair, it seemed like she had just gotten out of bed.
"What do you want?" Anastasia asked coldly.
