"Hello, Miss Laplace and Lord Lucien." I emerge from within the shadows directly in front of the two, who are on a mission on the battlefield. They both stare at me with extreme suspicion as they watch me rise from the ground.
"You're... a Shadow." Lucien recognizes my position almost immediately, despite his apparent distrust. Though I suppose it makes sense to be suspicious, considering the Demon King died recently, so we wouldn't normally be active.
"Exactly. I am one of the Shadows in the service of the Demon King. I am currently on a delivery mission, authorized by the current acting authority, Lady Esther." I explain my mission, though only partially.
Currently, Lady Esther can issue some of the more basic orders, like in the present case, where she can use the Shadows to deliver messages of extreme importance—ones the royal messengers wouldn't be fast enough to safely deliver.
