The Palace of Prediciary loomed before them, a colossal structure that rivaled the grandeur of Great Family Battleships. Baam couldn't conceal his surprise at the sheer magnitude of the base. The air around the dock crackled with an aura of power, marking the Palace as a bastion of strength within the clandestine world of FUG.

Mihai, with her characteristic gravitas, addressed the group, "Welcome to the Palace of Prediciary, our haven in the shadows. This base is a testament to FUG's resources and influence. It might not be as well-known as the Great Family ships, but it serves its purpose."

The architecture of the Palace exuded an air of foreboding, its darkened spires reaching skyward like silent sentinels guarding secrets hidden within. The dock, surrounded by shadowy alleys and concealed entrances, hinted at the covert nature of the activities transpiring within the Palace's depths.

Baam, contemplating the significance of this formidable base, questioned Mihai, "How did FUG manage to build something of this scale without attracting too much attention?"

Mihai, with a wry smile, responded, "FUG has always thrived in the shadows, weaving its influence discreetly. The Tower's vastness allows for hidden domains where power can consolidate without attracting unwanted scrutiny. The Palace is a testament to our ability to navigate the intricate dance of secrecy and power."

As they disembarked, Mihai shared more insights, "Now, regarding our journey back to New Sprout, it might take a while. The clash between Traumerei and Dumas is creating a significant disturbance. Navigating through that chaos won't be a straightforward endeavor."

The base's imposing facade and the revelation of the ongoing conflict added a layer of complexity to their mission. Baam, adjusting to the clandestine world that unfolded before him, grasped the delicate balance between power, secrecy, and the intricate dance of factions within the Tower.

Sylphy settled down in a corner of the Palace of Prediciary, her gaze meeting Khun's as he approached with a probing question. The air held a subtle tension, reflecting the underlying mysteries and complexities woven into the fabric of the Khun Family dynamics.

Khun, with a scrutinizing gaze, questioned her, "What is the prodigy of the Khun Family doing with FUG? And how come you're out of our father's eye?" The words hung in the air, laden with unspoken implications about her role within the Khun Family and the enigma surrounding her absence from the watchful eye of Eduan Khun.

Sylphy, with an air of nonchalance, responded, "Oh, Khun, you always cut to the chase. It's not like you to beat around the bush." Her demeanor, seemingly carefree, masked the intricacies of her relationship with the Khun patriarch.

Khun's expression remained stern as he continued to press for answers, "I've heard rumors about you, Sylphy. Disturbing rumors about Eduan and you. Care to shed some light on that?"

Sylphy, maintaining her playful facade, tilted her head, "Rumors? Oh, you know how people love to weave tales. It's amusing, really." Her response, though dismissive, hinted at a deeper layer of intrigue that surrounded her existence.

Khun, unyielding in his pursuit of the truth, persisted, "You're not a child anymore, Sylphy. What's your game in all of this? Eduan's grooming, FUG-there's more to you than meets the eye."

Sylphy's gaze met Khun's with a subtle challenge, "Perhaps, Khun. Perhaps there's more to me than anyone, including Eduan, can fathom. As for the rumors, well, rumors are just shadows dancing in the light."

Khun stepped away, leaving Baam to ponder the weight of Sylphy's significance within the Khun Family. Baam, sensing the gravity of the situation, questioned, "Is she really that important to your family, Khun?"
