Rafael approached Oliver, requesting that the military physician accompany them. Oliver immediately agreed. After all, they had more than one military physician available.

Once Oliver's official report was sent out, all the scheming and calculations were behind him. He looked at the eleven men with a deep sense of respect. Hearing that Lawrence's condition was critical, his concern grew. Regardless of what happened, Oliver was a soldier at heart. Even though he once considered abandoning Septimus, seeing the eleven men return stirred something in him.

No one could help but admire heroes, unless those heroes threaten their own position.

But clearly, the safe return of these eleven men was partly thanks to Rafael's efforts and partly Oliver's own. After all, it was he who had sent Louis and Timothy.

Oliver also wanted to save Lawrence, and it was driven partly by his own interests. Lawrence was the Marquis of Elderglen's second son. Oliver was still in an unstable position within the military, and needed the support of influential families. However, what surprised Oliver more was that Thomas was also a Septimus Tetra reconnaissance team member.

Viola was already married off to someone else, and Oliver found himself uncertain about how to face Thomas. Perhaps it was best to pretend not to know him, as they no longer had any familial ties.

At Hell Monarch Estate, Carissa had just gone to bed when Travis pounded on the door and shouted urgently, "Cari, there's an emergency!"

Travis adhered to the etiquette of high society, and he usually avoided addressing her by name in public. He only reserved it for private moments. His nighttime visit and forceful knocking indicated that something serious had happened. Carissa hurriedly threw on a robe as Lulu opened the door. Travis held a note that he had clearly already read as he came in, and said urgently, "You need to get Sebastian and Lady Kayla right away! There's no time to lose!" Carissa was startled at Travis' words. She quickly took the note, which contained only a few brief lines.

[The rescue was successful, but Lawrence was gravely injured. Bring Sebastian and Lawrence's wife, the second madam of the Ziegler family, to Westglade immediately.]

Lawrence? Was Septimus actually Lawrence, and not Thomas?
