Recalling the infiltration incident some nights ago, Brigitta stares at Giana absent-mindedly.
Just now she was thinking about that incident but then comes Giana asked her about it, she massages her forehead while looking down. Seeing this, Giana puts both of her hands on the desk forcing Brigitta to look at her again.
"Is it true that Rex came here? Is it true that he regressed to the eighth-rank realm?"
Upon hearing this Brigitta knitted her eyebrows together in confusion, she looked at Giana with a frown, "What do you mean by regress? Where did you get this information anyway?" Brigitta asked while leaning back on her chair.
But seeing her nonchalant behavior, Giana becomes mad.
"I told you just now that Jasira told me about it. But never mind that, answer the question!"
Although she's thinking about the incident from a couple of nights ago, she didn't understand why Giana brought up Rex. The one that infiltrate the territory was Kyran and Flunra, there was no Rex so this is quite confusing.
Just then, Brigitta realized something as she shakes her head, "I think there's a misunderstanding"
"Misunderstanding? What do you mean by that?" Giana quickly replied. She heard it directly from Jasira that decided to help during that incident, and she clearly remembered that Jasira told her it was Rex that came there.
Looking back at Giana once again, she then explained, "Rex was not here, it's Kyran that came here"
"Jasira might think that Kyran was Rex, he got stronger compared to the last time I saw him and also he seems to be different, his Werewolf form is way different than before. Aside from that, he also reached the eighth-rank realm. It's probably why Jasira thought that it was Rex" she added.
Upon hearing this, Giana stepped back realizing that it was probably true.
Out of everyone she was the only one that haven't seen Rex yet, she probably hasn't even seen his face and the Werewolf form that Rex retain. Since she's a genius, her pride is definitely high as that is the component needed in order to become strong.
Since Kyran is able to fight with her, she thought that he was the Silverstar Pack's Alpha.
But that was her mistake for believing that and underestimating Ratmawati City, Kyran's showcase of power despite shocking, it's still nothing compared to Rex. Both are residing in a completely different realm from each other.
Giana falls to the seat in front of the desk with a troubled expression, "I thought..."
"I know what you're thinking. If Rex really did regress to the eighth-rank realm then you don't need to be scared anymore, the power of Rex's existence would lessen greatly if that really happened. But you don't have to worry, we wouldn't let him kill you" Brigitta consoled, she knows that Giana feels guilty about the people who died from Rex's berserk.
Although mostly it was Zero's fault, she's the one that initiate it and she can't deny that.
Clenching both of her fists, Giana looked down to the ground with a troubled look, "You don't understand... Since we took down King Oddity, surrendering myself to Rex is haunting my mind. Losing me at this moment wouldn't put the entire humanity in danger"
"No, I won't let you do that. If you die then we will lose our advantage" Brigitta refuted swiftly.
The only reason she doesn't want to let Rex kill her before was the fact that if she died then humanity will be in a very bad spot. Now that the Supernatural lost one ninth-rank realm entity, dying now would've been perfect.
Giana has been pondering it through restless nights, she's really contemplating.
Upon seeing that Giana is being serious in what she said, Brigitta leans her body forward, "I know you did wrong, and Rex's wrath is justified. But still, we can find a way other than killing you to resolve this. Just try and keep a positive thought"
"I wish you are right..." Giana replied before she stood up from her seat.
But then she followed with a question, "By the way, if the one that came here is Kyran, where is he right now?"
Since she got the answer that she came for despite not being as she expected, Giana decided to leave. But then she remembered something, "If the one that came here is Kyran instead of Rex, what did you do to him?"
"I did the right thing..." Brigitta quickly replied without much thought.
Giana looked into Brigitta's eyes for a moment before she nodded her head, she stands up and headed to the door intending to leave, "Jasira will come again with Ryze, she's going to the Supernatural territory to teach Ryze how to fight. That's all I came here for, I'm leaving now..."
With that Giana left and closed the door behind her, leaving Brigitta's room in silence again.

After the meeting he had with Fylson and the Dark Elves last night, Flunra was sent to take down the Tigerman race alongside the Dark Elves and the Dwarves while Naela is left here, agreeing to stay in the castle.
It's a new feeling for her, she's far away from her parents and is all alone.
Looking around her room she finds that everything is different from her own home, the ornaments that don't have any hint of nature, the mattress that is so soft that her body sinks into it, and even the ground that is covered by a soft material that cushioned her feet.
Something like this is exclusive only to humans, and it's her first time experiencing this.
Going off of the bed she looks out of the window that faces the scenery of the Humming Damned Forest, she touches the glass with her slender fingers before her mind went to the fact that her future husband, Kyran's whereabouts are currently unknown.
Naela looks at her bow beside the bed solemnly, she caresses the orb at the center gently.
Responding to the energy inside of her hand, the orb glowed a little but now it doesn't have the thick bronze light that it used to, there was a hint of blackness in the glow. It changed recently, and that is when Kyran infused his energy into the bow.
But Naela smiled when she saw this, her mouth unknowingly curved.
Just then a couple of knocks came from the door which snapped her from reverie, she glanced at the door before the door opened and a figure walked inside. It surprises her when she saw that it was the beautiful fairy that she saw last night.
Gistella came inside graciously, her tender eyes landed on Naela that stood rooted on her spot.
"Come, let's have breakfast before I show you around and meet also the Female Alpha and the Luna. If you have any questions just ask away, and if you have any questions about Kyran then you can ask the Female Alpha" Gistella said in her soothing voice before she turns back around and walks away.
Last night, Rex has already given her a translation ring he bought from the system.
It would translate the words that she heard and also translate the words she spoke, but the ring can only translate the human language to Dark Elf's langue and vice versa. Other languages are off the list.
Gistella is also the one that leads her to her room, but she only made small talk last night.
Upon hearing this, Naela nodded her head, "Okay..."
With that, the two of them walk along the hallway in silence. None of them spoke a word.
Naela was looking around with her curious eyes as now she can see the interior of the castle clearly as it was already morning. Most of the interior of the castle is dominated by the color royal red, only the ornaments have different colors.
But then she remembered something and brace herself to ask Gistella, walking in front of her.
"I-If I'm allowed to ask, how can the Silverstar Pack has two forms?"
Gistella glanced over to her back with a light smile that makes Naela nervous, she then shrugs her shoulders and replied, "I don't know myself, but it definitely has something to do with the Alpha. Anything you see here, the castle, and the power came from the Alpha"
Just from hearing her tone alone while saying this, Naela can hear admiration from her.
It's clear that each one of the Silverstar Pack members is referring to the Alpha in high regard, there's not a single sign of bad when they refer to the Alpha. But this makes Naela more at ease, this clearly shows that the Alpha treats them very well.
"I'm a former Undead myself, but I got a human form and a Werewolf form when I got turned"
Upon hearing this Naela was completely shocked as she was not expecting this beautiful fairy in front of her to be a former Undead, she thought that the Alpha can only turn humans into Werewolf but it seems that was not the case.
But even if she knew, she wouldn't have guessed that Gistella is a former Undead.
At most, she would probably guess that Gistella is a former, Elf, Fairy, or even Succubus due to her beauty. Undead is at the bottom of her guessing list, and that is why she was so shocked when she heard this.
Feeling curious, Naela then asked, "What about the others? What are they before Werewolf?"
"Kyran, the Luna, and the Female Alpha are former humans just like the Alpha. Flunra, the man that you saw beside Rex last night is a pure Werewolf. He and I are the only former Supernaturals here" Gistella replied nonchalantly, there's no need to hide anything.
Rex has said to her to treat Naela kindly as if she was treating one of her own.
Just as the both of them are walking through the hallway, Naela suddenly noticed that Gistella's pace has slowed down. She glanced at her and saw her holding her forehead with a frown, it looks like she feels dizzy.
"Are you okay, Gistella...?" Naela asked while holding Gistella's back.
Upon hearing this Gistella forced out a smile, "I'm fine, just a little bit dizzy" she replied shortly.
After that brief pause, they finally arrived at the dining hall with a long table at the center. Evelyn and Adhara can be seen there, but the power seat is empty as Rex is focused on his training in the courtyard.
Neale instantly becomes the center of attention, curious eyes are gazing at her.
Both Evelyn and Adhara glanced at her instantly when they saw Gistella come back, they have mixed feelings inside their heads. "Naela, isn't it? Come sit and eat, I know you have many questions but let's eat first" Adhara said.
With that Neala sats down beside Gistella before the four of them started eating.
On the table is a roasted mutated animal that was caught by Evelyn early in the morning, there are no cooks so they must search for food on their own. It would change in the near future though as the Silverstar Pack associate with more forces.
Naela was confused when the others are using a knife and a fork, she usually used her hands to eat.
Knowing exactly what Naela is feeling since she was also once in her spot, Gistella gave her a knife and a fork and taught her how to use them. Adhara was the one that taught her, and now she's teaching Naela human mannerisms.
It didn't take long for her to get the hang of it, and it also didn't take long for them to finish eating.
Adhara then glanced at Naela while wiping her mouth with a piece of cloth, "So tell me, Naela. I heard that you're already married to Kyran in your culture, how did that happen?" she asked curiously.
Marriage is something sacred, and she's interested in how that happened to Naela and Kyran.
Upon hearing this Naela started fidgeting with her fingers as her face blushed, she avoided the stares of the others shyly before she explained, "W-We Dark Elves have something called the Orb of Life, simply it's our guide to the written fate. Essentially, Orb of Life is merged with our bows to strengthen our bows and turned them into magic weapons. Everybody has it..."
"When I met Kyran, my friend tries to snipe him but failed. Kyran chased after us and at that time my bow surprisingly broke. I met again with Kyran and ask him to repair my bow, he has immense energy so repairing my bow would've been easy for him" Naela then lowers her head as her face becomes redder.
Adhara, Evelyn, and Gistella are waiting for her to continue curiously.
Something like this is always interesting to them, and the culture of a Supernatural is something they never thought would be interested in. "B-But I didn't expect my Orb of Life to react and bond with Kyran's energy..."
The others were at a loss for words, the Dark Elves really treat the Orb of Life as their guidance.
"So if your Orb of Life bonded with another energy, then the person that energy belongs to would be your husband?" Evelyn asked again to make sure, this is a very interesting method of marriage for her.
Naela nodded her head, "But Orb of Life never reacted to other races, this is the first time..."
Upon hearing this the others now know why the Dark Elves went to such a length to betroth Naela to Khran, turns out this kind of incident never happened before. "Well, since we asked you a question, you can in return ask us a question" Adhara said.
Although she has many, the suddenty of the situation makes her stutter.
Pondering for a moment she then finally able to grasp one question inside her head, she looks at Adhara before she asked, "Can you tell me what kind of person is Kyran...?" it's a natural question for a soon-to-be Kyran's wife to ask.
Just as the others heard that they looks at each other for a fair moment.
Adhara then looks back at Naela before she answered truthfully, "If I'm being honest, in my opinion, although he's still a kid in terms of human age, he can be scarier than many others. In fact, he's probably second only to Rex in terms of being terrifying..."
