As for Bronya's confusion.
Kiana spoke with complete confidence:
"Why? Of course it was so I could be with Lin Nai! That's why I marked him a long time ago!"
She had marked Lin Nai with Honkai energy, allowing her to open a portal and find him anytime.
As for when she had marked him?
That was hard to say.
She just hadn't expected...
Bronya to be here too.
Kiana's expression instantly turned grave.
That was utterly unscrupulous!
A sneak attack!
The two stared at each other.
In that instant, they both knew that tonight's operation had probably failed.
As long as the other was here, the plan could not succeed.
Kiana scratched her head irritably.
She had finally waited until Sirin fell asleep before opening a portal to come here.
Yet the moment she arrived, she found Bronya lying where she was supposed to be lying!
Hey!
How could this be?!
Before coming out, she had been saying, "I laugh at the Thunder Queen for her lack of strategy, and Bronya for her lack of wisdom!"
Then she took one look.
Well, well.
Bronya had somehow arrived at her home long ago.
If she had been any later, even the crystal would have been destroyed, okay?!
How cunning, Bronya!
But there was nothing she could do.
Right now, neither of them could do anything, and they had to keep a close eye on each other.
Kiana knew Bronya definitely would not leave.
So she simply stayed here with her.
Night fell.
Moonlight, like freshly washed silk, cast a strand of clear radiance through the window and onto the bed.
How should she put it?
Never before had Bronya wanted so badly to kick the stupid grass-eating insect beside her.
Bronya looked at Kiana, who was sleeping soundly beside her.
