Skulky was staring at his mistress, Eve, those flickering green orb-like eyes shining in confusion.
They were currently standing on the roof of a towering building that overlooked the Royal Island.
Eve's expression was emotionless, and although it felt as if she was looking in the direction of the castle, her gaze was blank, only reflecting the ongoing battle in the distance.
The protective barrier was up, and an army of demons and members of the Flaming Rose were actively fighting to take it down, unaware that their main target had already fled the capital.
Skulky's orb-like eyes flickered between the chaos and that of his master, his thoughts unknown for a while.
After a moment of looking back and forth, he eventually spoke, a hint of hesitation in his voice.
"Mistress," the skeleton butler said, "if I may ask, why did you allow them to escape?"
Eve continued to stare into the distance.
