Just as the chaos was simmering down, a voice echoed from outside the room, bursting through the door with great urgency.
"Ritta! What's with the noise...?!"
It was Uriel, with her white hair waving behind her from running too fast.
When she arrived at the room, just as any bodyguard would do, she looked for Henrietta's figure. Since she was literally in the middle of the room, though, Uriel didn't miss her.
Next, she looked around, checking the presences around... only to gasp, holding her breath.
"M-Master...!" She stammered, one word pertaining to two at once.
Yifa, her former master, who taught her the basics like she was her own daughter, and Xu Tao, who had become her new master. Both were standing awkwardly, eyes on Henrietta who was still burying her face against Xu Tao's back.
But other than those familiar figures, there were also two more unknown faces around. Both female, and from the way they stood, were no pushovers either.
