Everyone waited; Erica and her mother panicked, wondering where Sylus might have gone.
For now, the only thing they could hold on to was Zani's words—that he was going to return.
She told them she could still feel his presence, and that was enough to convince them.
Being his Mystero also meant she had the opportunity to understand more than anyone else.
Although, occasionally, Elizabeth would vent her anger on Martins, slapping and berating him constantly whenever she got the chance.
And Martin could not do anything under Sylus's command.
So instead, he kept quiet, just hoping the moment would pass.
Meanwhile, at the very front, right next to the flat rock where the first queen was, Zani patiently waited for Sylus's return.
All alone, by herself.
There were times when Erica thought to stand with her, but she knew she couldn't leave her mother's side. So instead, she remained, watching from afar.
Time passed, and silence became their only comfort.
