He tore through his office in a storm of rage.

"How the hell did she escape?! She's blind! This place is something else... She's the only one who could revive the Garzel clan — a potential weapon if we’re ever to challenge another kingdom!"
He hurled a glass cup at the door before storming outside.
“Sir Morgan,” one of his men approached nervously, “we’ve searched everywhere… but there’s still no trace of her. It’s been two years, she must have found a way out of the country ”

[The doors slammed open. A man in black entered. His face was completely hidden behind a mask.]
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH85jqBpB5O
"Get out. Leave us,” Morgan commanded the guards.
The masked man stepped forward, his presence suffocating the air.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfJOhSUwN3
“Still haven’t found her,” he said coldly. “I gave you one job… and you failed me. Two years, and nothing. Just like when you let the boy escape years ago.”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyv3lIfJx6
He conjured a dagger, pitch black, thick smoke swirling from its blade.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDIpCEcro1
“What punishment should I give you, Morgan? The same one I gave your father? Your grandfather? The one before that?”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43arO3c28q
“Please… give me more time! I swear I’ll find her before sundown. Forgive me… sir—NO!!”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ujMoXtli
The masked man sliced out one of Morgan’s eyes and dropped it on the table. Morgan’s scream echoed for hours, blood spilling endlessly.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoBZBrLc3G
“I’ll return by sundown,” the man said, vanishing without a trace.

"It’s been three years since we sent that message to Daria… and still no reply,” Princess Charlotte said, addressing the council. “That said, our trade with the Kingdom of Valorian is flourishing. They’ve been a reliable ally.”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW7bUPBfUl
She paused, her gaze distant.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTzcOHYtAm
“It’s been three years since Zack was killed… and the children too. I can’t shake the guilt. It was my fault.”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdWESBV8Oo
Just then, a guard rushed in with a letter. He handed it to Animus.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqhBg89jVQ
“You may leave,” Animus said, accepting it and turning it over to the princess.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWq09rLFld
Charlotte’s breath caught as she saw the seal of Daria. Her hands trembled briefly before she composed herself, refusing to show weakness before the council.

The front door creaked open. A man entered quietly.

“You’re back, Sir Albert,” a kind-faced woman greeted him. “Lunch will be ready in a minute,” she said, setting the table.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeIk8I2SUv
“How’s she doing today?” he asked.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLM1Bs73GQ
“She’s feeling much better. Went out with her brother — I told them not to wander too far.”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXryUfCIwAL
Albert nodded, then asked hesitantly, “And your son…? Do you still think you’ll find him?”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Qzdasi3D
She smiled faintly. “He’d be a grown man by now. It’s been years since I last saw him. May Goddess Tova protect him from all harm.”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscxuAtPl3m
Albert sighed. “And your daughter? Any sign?”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce2E2721EC
“Another dead end,” he muttered. “Next, I’ll move my search to Daria. My little girl… it’s been a hundred years.” He exhaled deeply as she brought over his meal.

> My Dearest Princess Charlotte,
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWksfKOlB1d
I take up my pen to offer my most sincere and heartfelt condolences on the passing of your esteemed father, King Charles Maxiii. May his noble legacy endure, and may your kingdom find solace in the midst of sorrow.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSsi2UXzd4
Regrettably, I was unable to attend the funeral and pay my respects in person. Please accept my deepest apologies.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUjQTCNmoK
In light of the current circumstances, I extend an invitation to visit the Kingdom of Daria. Your presence would be invaluable for important diplomatic discussions. I believe a face-to-face meeting would help build a stronger alliance between our realms.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc5q3Vs127
As a token of my respect and sympathy, I have enclosed a rare gemstone necklace, crafted by Daria’s finest artisans. May it serve as a symbol of our enduring friendship and unity.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ569EEdGcBj
We await your arrival and look forward to strengthening our diplomatic ties.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfuZ9vjXmx
May the blessings of the realm be upon you.

Charlotte folded the letter thoughtfully. “The Kingdom of Daria refused our offer last time,” she murmured. “I only got his attention by denying Fulton access to our roads. Traveling through Tikka is the fastest and safest way to reach Daria. Fulton A Kingdom that's known for its hatred against humans , still Daria was able to make a good connection How…?”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU0WOq4A18
She turned to her advisors. “Animus, choose a date for the meeting with King Dorman. Poker — prepare four million gold coins.”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2MHifx4sL
[Cough!]
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl7Yl1dxmv
The three councilmen all choked.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4uf7mOKJb
“Four million?” Poker exploded. “That’s absurd! A withdrawal like that will cripple our treasury! What would it even be used for?!”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgPzvBPHOb
Charlotte remained composed. “Poker, you’re trusted by the people of Tikka. That’s why you were made budget manager. The money will be gifted to the King of Daria.”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0GH9BRs99
Animus narrowed his eyes. She may act innocent… but those eyes. She knows exactly what she’s doing…

“LET ME OUT!!” Kael screamed, chained to the wall. His eyes remained shut. [SQUEAK!] “LET ME OUT! I’LL KILL EVERY LAST HUMAN! WIPE THEM OUT!”
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2dlTF81GL
A girl nervously entered the cell.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bzT9iuLdJ
“Kael… I-I brought you something to eat. It’s been three years, and you still won’t let go of this hatred. I… I know how you feel. Seeing you like this, in chains… it hurts me.” [sob]
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5WSFnqVeW
“Then free me!” he barked. “Let us be together again — united!”

“I can’t… I-I can’t disobey Kaito’s orders…”

Tears welled up in her eyes as she dropped the food and fled the room.

“That was too harsh,” Nava growled from the hallway. “You really piss me off — making her cry like that.” She gripped the bars and bent them slightly in anger, you've changed.

“Alexandra, you don’t have to hide,” Damon said, standing just outside Jural Forest.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAwT8qTSIs
Alexandra leapt down from a tree.

“How long have you known I was here?” she asked, curious.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamWZAA0XhA
“Since you arrived,” he said, lightly touching the magical barrier.

“Cassandra placed that. She’s grown strong… and she wants to join the Elite Force. Would you approve it?” she asked.

“If you’ll watch over her, I don’t mind,” Damon replied, distracted by a strange sensation.

“You seem distracted "

“There’s something within the forest,” he said. “I sensed
it briefly… an energy an unfamiliar one ”
