Out of a sense of caution, Aurora left immediately after making sure that their carriage had reached the edge of the 'Wonderland of Doom', and Evelyn could only watch her form disappear with a forlorn sigh.

She didn't know when she would be able to meet her teacher or Nadia again, but she also knew that avoiding this adventure now would only make it more dangerous later.

Although Gwendolyn had told her that she would be able to keep the Lord of Bones occupied for a while, Evelyn couldn't be sure how long this 'while' could be. She just hoped that it was long enough for her to grow up.

Of course, even if the Lord of Bones himself could be entangled by Gwendolyn, his forces would probably still be able to operate freely. After all, this was not the 'New World', where Gwendolyn's influence penetrated every street and corner of the continent.
