Watching Louis's back as he slipped through the door and disappeared inside, Iota muttered anxiously.
"Will he be okay? It could be dangerous if he runs into someone like Epsilon…"
Beta, however, didn't share that fear. Her voice was calm—almost certain.
"He'll be fine. He's the one Lady Eve personally chose."
For them, those words carried weight. They had waited a full century for the moment when someone worthy would finally arrive. And if Lady Eve had chosen him at the very end of their long, long wait… then perhaps he truly didn't need their protection.
"More importantly, Iota," Beta added quietly.
"Hm? Krung?" Iota blinked.
"We have something to do."
"What is it?"
Beta turned her gaze toward the dim corridor Louis had walked through, her expression softer than usual.
"Before Lady Eve is finally freed… before we meet her again… there's something we must finish."
Iota fell silent, immediately sensing the heaviness behind her words.
