Two hours later, outside Rosalina's mansion.
Julius and Alfred stood quietly in the cool night air.
A soft breeze brushed past them, bringing a refreshing chill.
The moon hung high in the sky, glowing with a soft reddish light that made everything look a little mysterious.
Julius looked straight ahead. A huge gate blocked their way, locked tightly from the inside.
Through the gaps in the gate, he could see many guards standing watch.
"Alfred, take care of the guards outside," Julius said calmly.
"As you wish, my lord."
Alfred bowed once, then jumped smoothly over the tall gate and disappeared into the shadows.
Julius turned around and looked down at the ground.
Four girls were lying there, completely unconscious.
Two of them were twins, the granddaughters of the First Elder.
Alfred had checked everything. These twins were fourth-year students at the academy.
Julius had taken them from their dorm rooms earlier.
