In the dead of night, Violet knocked on the door of the Arcane Sanctum. Sebastian lived on the second floor of the sanctum.

Sebastian had already gone to bed, and was accustomed to early bedtimes for his health. By the time Violet arrived, he had been asleep for over an hour.

Even the renowned physician had his moments of irritation. When his apprentice reported that Violet had arrived, he donned a robe and glared at Violet as he came downstairs. "You'd better have a good reason for this visit. I'm not on duty tonight."

Violet bowed in apology. "Forgive the disturbance, but Prince Rafael sent us a message via carrier pigeon. He requests that you accompany Cari to Westglade to save Lawrence Zielger."

"Lawrence Ziegler?" Sebastian hesitated momentarily before recalling the Marquis of Elderglen's second son, who was already reported dead.

Without further ado, Sebastian ordered, "Vanda, Mira, prepare the necessary supplies and come along. Bring the best medicine for wounds, the gold needles, and..."

He paused, showing a hint of reluctance, though minimal. "Bring the thousand-year-old Evergreen Root as well."

Sebastian's response to an emergency was unparalleled. He arrived at Hell Monarch Estate ahead of Carissa to await her.

Before setting out, Carissa took the carrier pigeon's note to her mother-in-law.

"Tomorrow, you must go to the palace and deliver this note to the king. Make sure to tell him our pigeon is reliable, and given the urgency of the situation, I left the city tonight."

Helen took the note and asked, "Is it really necessary? The situation is dire, but you can explain it properly when you return to the capital. You have the permit to leave the city, and you're going to save someone..." Carissa cut her off and said seriously, "It's very necessary. Listen to me, okay? Go early tomorrow morning. Don't delay even for a moment."
