Since the time that she was discovered as a spy and knocked out by Lucius\'s men, June remained unconscious until she was brought to the Inanis territory.

It was only after June was harshly awakened by Lucius throwing water all over her did she become active again.

But unlike for Lucius who remained concentrated on the task of interrogation, June had far less willpower than him.

Perhaps it was also the effect of Veil of Terror as well, because the time that occurred for June throughout the spell was actually much longer than its duration.

This in addition with the broken wrist and the great physical turmoil that June underwent through had made her weak and exhausted beyond belief.

Even with the fear that shackled her to remain subservient to Lucius, her own body was beginning to betray her in this instance.

June\'s eyes drifted to a close ever since Lucius looked away from her and muttered things with himself.

"I hope that you remain wide awake, we\'re still not done for the night, June." Lucius suddenly said.

June\'s eyes widened and she nearly soiled herself again at his voice. It wasn\'t over yet.

This time, Lucius had Doyle fetch him his notebook and pen. For the next several hours afterwards, Lucius continued to interrogate June about everything, including the things they\'ve already discussed beforehand.

June repeated the things that she already said and was forced to give additional information that she didn\'t even think were all that relevant.

But June didn\'t understand what Lucius was going for. Even when it seemed like a minor thing, Lucius was learning as many details as possible and noted them all down.

The smallest thing might help him gain an unexpected edge. Knowledge was power after all.

Lucius was so engrossed in interrogating June, the hours quickly slipped by and he had almost missed someone knocking at his door.

"Asher?" Kiana called out unsurely.

"Come in." Lucius said and glanced down at his notebook. It was mostly filled to his satisfaction and could be considered done.

Kiana\'s eyes widened and she quickly entered the laboratory. She knew that Asher actually left last night after his meal with Countless Lita to go to the laboratory.

She also knew that Asher preferred to work at once, but she hadn\'t actually expected him to be awake right now since it was morning already.

Kiana even had brought a tray filled with breakfast for him.

"Did you… did you actually get any sleep at all?" Kiana asked, hoping that she was mistaken.

"No. But I did get valuable information from June over here." Lucius said closing his notebook and standing up.

"Would you like to eat some breakfast then, Asher?"

"No. I\'m fine." Lucius waved a hand. "I think I\'d much prefer to go back to the mansion and rest. As much as I\'d like to stay here, I\'m sure that mother will be looking for me if I\'m not around."

Kiana nodded. "Yes, the Countess will be displeased to know that you came here immediately instead of getting some rest. I can take care of matters here with our prisoner first if you\'d like to go back before me."

"There\'s not much to be done. She just needs to be restrained for the time being." Lucius said and walked past after Kiana, actually looking forward to return to his chambers.

While the Necklace of the Damned had healed all of his injuries gained during the battle, it was not entirely an equivalent to actually getting some rest.

If anything, Lucius needed to be in a more stable condition to be able to wield the soul artifact properly.

Kiana trusted Asher\'s judgment, but her attention still quickly shifted to June because she wanted to know if there was a lot of cleaning she needed to do to keep the laboratory sanitary.

It wasn\'t something that Asher needed to think about after all, and it was something that Kiana took care of.

However, Kiana\'s eyes widen slightly when she checked June\'s condition and found nothing more but a broken wrist.

She almost expected there to be more blood and injuries, maybe even something worse but there was no harm on June at all besides the broken wrist.

It almost reminded Kiana of the time when they held the daughter of Baron Harrels with them. There wasn\'t much physical harm done to her.

Except June wasn\'t a nobleman\'s daughter, but in Kiana\'s eyes, she had mostly experienced the same thing.

If only Kiana knew what Lucius had actually done. Then she would have realized that what June experienced was far more worse than what happened to Bethany Harrels.

Lucius didn\'t think that Kiana needed to know about the Veil of Terror at all. At least, not at the moment.

"I will accompany you back to the mansion then." Kiana said and followed after Asher. She didn\'t need to stay in the laboratory without him.

Shortly after, Lucius returned back to the Inanis mansion with Kiana and was greeted by the servants and guards of the mansion.

Lucius gave his people some nods and greetings here and there, but mostly walked with Kiana to his chambers.

"Is there anything else that I can do for you, Asher?" Kiana asked.

"As of the moment, nothing. I\'ll be resting, but if anything important or substantial happens which you deem as urgent and worthy of my attention then I would like you to inform me irregardless." Lucius said.

"Of course, Asher." Kiana promised and stopped outside of his door.

Lucius then stepped into his chambers and let out a sigh. He was exhausted, but hadn\'t really showed it in front of the others.

He quickly changed his clothes and then went to bed.

After some time, Lita came by and checked on him since he missed breakfast and then lunch, but then chose to let him be once she saw how exhausted he looked.

Lucius slept for over fifteen hours, and when he finally woke up, it was already quite late at night as well.
