The last portal opened, and the final attendants of the gathering arrived. Lucy and Will stepped through the portal and entered the conference room in Antarctica.
They glanced around at the people gathering inside the large room. Everyone from the other outposts arrived when Vicky ordered them back.
Most of them, namely Lucy and Leslie, wanted to arrive sooner. They were furious when Henry informed about Bea's successful rescue.
Bea was their longtime friend, so not involving them in the rescue didn't sit well with them. However, they were both glad everything worked out, even without their help.
Before addressing the Princess, Lucy walked up to Bea and tearfully hugged the magnificent woman. They didn't need to exchange any words to convey every emotion they were feeling.
The moment lasted a few long seconds, but eventually, Henry cleared his throat nearby, reminding both of the situation's urgency.
