Gabriel shouted, "They've all vanished?"

From the moment Sophie fled the Duke's estate in the early hours, Gabriel had been anxiously awaiting news from the shadow guards.

Once the question was asked, Gabriel's mind flashed with something. He immediately pressed, "Was it the south gate, heading toward Mount Westin?"

Cyrus, the butler, nodded and confirmed, "Yes, Sophie left from the south gate. I even ordered a carriage to be prepared outside, but it disappeared too."

The most bizarre part was that while the shadow guards and the carriage had vanished, Sophie, of all people, had returne Though not to the Duke's estate, she was back at the Marquis's estate.

And according to reports from the Marquis's estate, Sophie had returned the day before.
