Alex watched as Chi-Chi's figure disappeared completely into the portal. Shortly after, Luca sent Alex a request to dissolve the Alliance.
The portal returned to its default state, and moments later, it flickered as Sophie emerged from it.
"Big Shot, you said Chi-Chi left to find her family?" Sophie asked, having received Alex's message to come over and manage Chi-Chi's beasts. Alex had simply said it was to find her family.
"Yes, she just left," Alex replied, heading towards the door with Sophie following.
"I wondered why I couldn't use the portal earlier," Sophie said, noticing a new small castle next to her subsidiary castle. It was obviously Chi-Chi's.
"Don't worry, Big Shot. I'm an orphan with no family, so I won't be leaving," Sophie added, trying to reassure Alex.
Alex responded with an eye roll.
The beasts would take some time to reach Alex's castle, and Chi-Chi had already summoned today's troops. Sophie, with nothing to do, waited idly in the castle.
