Meanwhile, Nathan remained deep in contemplation.
Mila changed the subject, asking, “Nate, if we manage to escape from here, what are your plans?”
Taking a seat at the bed’s edge, Nathan responded casually, “I aim to dismantle the Dark Shadows Society.”
“This is Dorzania, not Norvania,” Mila reminded, settling in beside him, their shoulders touching. “How do you intend to dismantle such a vile society here?”

statement. After their escape, Mila would return to Sunterland.

Nathan was once again taken aback, observing her actions with curiosity.
He couldn’t help but wonder what she was up to and why was she initiating contact by holding his hand and gently caressing it.

Mila continued to rub his hand and lightly pat its back, speaking with assurance, “We will certainly leave this place safely, Nate. I have faith in you.”
Nathan withdrew his hand slowly. “Behaving like this might givethe wrong impression.”
Mila paused as Nathan pulled away his hand with a bittersweet expression. She was unable to suppress her smile.

“48 bottles of hydronium,” Mila whispered, her voice barely audible. “I hadn’t anticipated their swift acquisition of it from the heavily guarded Sunterland Research Institute.”
Nathan contemplated her revelation. “Have you considered the possibility of Sunterland spies. among them?”
Mila’s expression soured as she realized her oversight.
Meanwhile, Murray reclined with crossed legs, his gaze fixed intently on Mila. After a moment of silence, he inquired, “What are you two whispering?”
Baffled by Dorzanian, Nathan furrowed his brow at the question.
Mila offered a warm smile. “Congratulations on swiftly securing the hydronium.”
Murray pointed toward the box, his skepticism evident. “Is it truly hydronium contained within this box?”
Assuming the contents had been verified, Mila was caught off guard by the doubt.
Murray persisted, “We couldn’t open it, so we’ve brought you here to inspect it.”
