Rachel, whom they had sent away, was also being questioned as a Saintess due to the Princess's interference.
'Is this really the bloodline of the child of prophecy?'
Medea's ignorance of Rachel's true identity may have been an instinct ingrained in her.
To prevent any further variables, the Princess of BlValdina had to be eliminated here.
'I could never deal with that bitch Medea on my own.'
Although Raju blamed Medea for everything, he did not underestimate her.
'They are the ones who brought back Valdina from the brink of ruin. If we want to tie up that woman, we definitely need them.'
He personally experienced the power of black magic that could freely control even natural disasters such as monster waves.
'So this time, you absolutely, absolutely will not escape.'
"The most important thing is for Jared to kidnap Medea. If only that could be achieved..."
The rest will flow like water.
"Then why don't you give Jared specific orders?"
The subordinate asked Raju as if he couldn't understand.
"Then there are too many traces. If we catch even a single one, do you think the Emperor of Valdina will leave us alone?"
"Ah..."
"Even if we don't do that, he'll move as we want."
Even after the success of the venture, the fortune teller Raju was well aware of Jared's lustful and perverted nature.
'If he kidnaps the Princess and thinks it's a success, he'll completely change and show his true colors.'
Since he was already half-mad, the Princess who was left alone would have to deal with his madness.
"That damn bitch left an indelible scar on my daughter's back, so I have to pay her back."
A glimmer of resentment lingered in Raju's eyes.
"So now we just have to wait for the right time."
***
Non-commercial area in the Strait of Valdina.
In the white mansion on the strait that resembled the rose mansion of the royal family, an unexpected fight was taking place.
"It's okay."
Terence frowned as Cesare shook his hand.
"Please continue receiving treatment. Don't make light of your wounds."
"Terence, I'm not a dying man anymore."
Eventually, Terence exploded at his friend for refusing to take the medication.
"I didn't say anything when you jumped to save the Princess and got stabbed by a shard of glass!"
"It was just a passing glance."
"Huh. Did you forget who stitche ld up your scar back then?"
Terence snapped back.
"Cesare. No matter what, you have to take care of your own safety. It's really not like you to just throw yourself at someone."
Still, he couldn't hide his worry, so he took off his glasses, rubbed his forehead, and urged Cesare.
"The Princess of Valdina is our benefactor, but... She is also the eye of the storm. She is the only one who remains calm while throwing all sides into chaos. But, I never thought you would be so helplessly caught up in it."
Cesare stared at his friend, who sighed.
"There's no such thing as getting swept away. I know exactly what I'm doing."
The dagger that had been spinning at the tip of his finger flew away and the medicine that had been snatched from Terence's hand was heard.
"I just don't understand why you keep wasting yourself like this."
He frowned. Even that looked like a masterpiece that the artist had poured his whole life into creating.
Terence glanced at him.
"Cesare. I am surprised you should say that. That is exactly what we feel when we look at you. Like a moth to a fire."
Cesare snorted.
"I'm not that stupid."
Terence found it a little funny that this friend was expressing his displeasure with his whole body. Cesare looked genuinely quite dissatisfied with the current situation.
"Boss. Ah, everyone is gathered here."
At that moment, Gallo's cheerful voice rang out.
His blond hair, shining in the sunlight, looked even more wavy today. He was holding a crumpled piece of parchment in his hand.
"Sorry to interrupt your pleasant afternoon, but I have some hot news just arrived from Katzen."
Gallo smiled brightly. However, only his eyes were smiling, which paradoxically showed that he was not in a very good mood.
"Jared came into the Strait a few days ago."
"What? Who?"
Terence asked back. He swears it can't be because he doesn't remember the name Jared.
He's even leading the wandering mercenaries that he was the leader of. That's not really a big deal, but the problem is that traces of 'them' have been found in El Amuz."
Gallo scratched his chin irritably.
"I couldn't chase him any further. The informant disappeared before I could track him."
"..."
"You little bastards. I'm shaking with fear at the thought of black people."
The black ones.
The air in the room grew chilly as the name was mentioned.
Cesare straightened his back, and Terence's faint smile disappeared from his lips.
"The boss's curse wasn't a coincidence either."
Gallo was forced to grind his teeth.
The primordial curse that Cesare was subjected to originated from the Kiqueg tribe.
As part of the effort to lift his curse, the 1st Prince faction pursued the origin of the Kiqueg people.
How could a small, remote tribe come into contact with the primordial darkness?
The question that started from there led to a persistent pursuit. And finally, he was able to catch the tail.
Those who worshipped the primordial darkness and rebelled against the Goddess were deeply rooted in places unseen.
They had been hiding under a veil for thousands of years, but they began to reveal themselves in earnest starting with Cesare's curse.
And their clutches now reached as far as Valdina.
"It can't be a coincidence that they showed up in the Strait now and Jared came in."
Jared. And the warlocks.
"This is the worst. Two things I hate at once. Ugh..."
Gallo frowned. Terence's face also became serious.
Since ancient times, the Tower of Justice has stood against those who break taboos.
"Alpha, we need to beef up security. I'll also ask the Master to send more wizards to help with the shield."
"There's no need for that."
"Cesare. Those who deal with the darkness of the beginning are not lacking in any preparation."
Cesare shook his head.
"You got it wrong."
Jared is a man who is true to his instincts.
A typical human being who submits to the strong. It will be difficult for him to forget the fear he has instilled deep in his bones.
"He must have noticed by now since he came in a few days ago. That I'm here. And yet he didn't run away..."
That means his target is not Cesare.
It means that there is a target that is being targeted even considering his existence.
"Raju is very cautious. Getting both the Warlock and Jared Involved at the same time."
Cesare easily discovered the central point connecting the two, the hidden presence of Raju.
"Raju is Jason's confidant, isn't he? I still think it's right to target you, but who?"
Terence looked confused.
"Who else could it be? If there is anyone other than you who continues to block their path..."
Degururu. The dice rolled over the continent.
"There's only one?"
Cesare raised his head. A crooked smile appeared on his handsome lips.
But his two eyes were sunk deep into the abyss.
In the distance, at the end of the sagging moon, the pointed spire of the Princess Palace hangs.
