Ever since Little Gwen contacted them that time, Theus had told the Banshees about his ability to switch bodies.
Naturally, this caused no small amount of surprise, but there was no real discussion.
The Banshees, who loved liveliness, remained silent on the matter. Even Nini never asked another question.
This was Theus's trust. They did not want to let it down.
Theus was preparing to switch into Worker Theus's body when a somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang out through the Mind Link.
"My lord, can you hear me?"
Theus: "..."
What a coincidence. She was calling... She had contacted him through the ritual?
"Yes, yes!"
"It's Little Gwen! She's back!"
"Are you going to call us Dad again?"
"Little Gwen, can you call me Mom? If not, I can kneel and beg you."
Little Gwen: "..."
Although she already knew the Banshees had always been like this, she still could not help clenching her fists.
This ritual allowed instant communication across distances. Everything about it was fine, except for some reason, the Banshees were always added in as well.
Little Gwen vaguely guessed why, but she did not say it aloud.
"Where's the boss? Someone go call him. Little Gwen came back looking for Dad again."
"Is he asleep?"
"Impossible. I just saw Isabella come out of his room."
"Gasp, could it be... Isabella assassinated our lord?"
"Then we should hurry and pay our respects to the new Empress. Maybe she'll even make me a count."
Theus could not help clenching his fists as well. He directly muted everyone, and at last, the Mind Link was quiet.
"Go ahead. I'm listening."
"I'm... in Rhine." Little Gwen's voice sounded through the link. "Could you come over for a moment?"
"Did something happen?"
"Jules wants to talk to you."
Theus fell silent
