"This is insane!" Lauren muttered as she paced back and forth.
The barrier Alec made was made by his blue fire magic and she didn't have powerful magic to break it.
She understood how crucial the situation was and Alec wanted her to stay but being locked up without any idea of what's happening upstairs was like torture.
It took Lauren a few minutes to calm down and realize that this must be for the better. Being exposed out there in the chaotic scene, there was a chance she wouldn't be able to control herself and kill someone with her black mage's power.
Or worse, with her emotional turmoil, she would suddenly turn into a monster and expose her true identity to everyone. It would create a big problem for Alec, and she didn't want that.
So she guessed that this must be better. Being locked away.
She should just trust that Alec and Vincent and the rest of the royal army could subdue the rebels' forces.
