Riya watched the kids leave and leaned against her husband with a sigh.
"We should have gone with them."
Johnson patted her back reassuringly.
"We can't, dear. The Queen has recently issued an order to find all her descendants, as well as those born to them. We can't risk entering any major cities for a while, where you might be recognized. Besides, Jenny is with the kids, and I've sent Lights to follow them. They will reach the academy safely."
Riya rubbed her temples.
"Just what is mother up to now?"
Johnson hummed, thinking.
"I got some insider information from Loyd. Word has it that an ancient tomb belonging to a king from a bygone era has been found within the royal castle and only those with royal blood are able to enter. Perhaps they are seeking suitable candidates."
Riya blinked. Ancient tomb? It was quite rare to hear about something like this.
