After a peaceful night, the operation officially began.

First, it was Cordio's visit.

"Please take care."

"No worries, I'm also counting on you."

After a nod of understanding between Cyclone and Cordio, Elyse extended her right hand.

Cordio slid the silver bracelet on his hand onto Elyse's forearm and cast a spell on it.

"Yuna?"

Cyclone inquired about Yuna.

"Yeah, it's effective."

Yuna nodded in confirmation.

"Of course, this is the latest invention. Ever since Sophie escaped from Bay Prison, tools like this for sealing magic powers have emerged."

As Cordio spoke, he handed another piece of paper to Elyse.

"This is the magic spell for removal."

Elyse glanced at it and nodded.

"Now that your wife's magic power has been neutralized, how do you plan to get outside?" Cordio curiously asked, as he was only there to deliver the bracelet and didn't know the details of the plan.

"Everything is set, just another ten minutes before we can depart," Cyclone replied, eyeing the clock on the wall, waiting for the time to arrive.

Meanwhile, a large number of assassins were waiting outside Cyclone's house.

Among them was a captain who had always harbored feelings for Elyse.

Seeing Elyse run away with another man filled him with rage.

Upon receiving the king's orders, he felt duty-bound and acted immediately.

"Captain?! Something's wrong!!"

Upon hearing a report from one of the team members, the captain set aside his lunch and inquired of the member.

"What's the matter?"

"T-the princess' magic source has disappeared!"

"What?!"

In Cyclone's house, Elyse was the only one possessing a pure light attribute magic source. Even when mixed with Yuna's six-attribute mixed magic source, Elyse's magic source could easily be distinguished.

Even separated by walls, once the target was locked in, Elyse had nowhere to escape.

However, with the sudden disappearance of the magic source, it surprised all the members of the assassin team.

"Try to sense it again! It can't be..."

Just as the captain was giving orders, a large number of puppets came out from the main entrance of the building, the doorway of Theodore Exchange.

Tall and short, puppets of various animal forms walked out of the shop.

Every mysterious figure dressed as a puppet was unusually excited, dancing and moving around the streets.

There were cats, dogs, bears, and even mice, making it a special event for the Great Dragon Festival.

Looking at these puppet figures, all the members of the assassin team were stunned.

"What in the world..."

First, Elyse's magic source vanished, then a large number of unidentified puppet figures appeared.

However, the captain shouted with a magic crystal in hand.

"Don't be confused! Spread out, the princess is pregnant, she can't be dancing with them!!"

The captain saw through it, and at the same time, a member reported back.

"Captain! Two mouse puppets are wandering three streets away!!)

"Explain clearly!"

"Yes! Two mouse puppets, one brown, one white...seeing it clearly, Captain!!"

"Clearly?!"

"Yes, the white mouse, her bust is protruding!!"

Upon hearing this news, the captain excitedly declared.

"Trying to escape?! Not so easy!"

"But, but Captain?!"

"What now?!"

"Weren't we instructed to observe discreetly? If we go out now...won't they discover our presence?!"

"Idiot!! They only want to escape once they discover our presence!!"

Taking a deep breath, the captain shouted.

"Don't let them escape!! Quick, pursue!!"

Instantly, all the assassins leaped up and chased after the two mice in the distance.
