"They're flying back up.'

The Caro Kingdom's crown prince Valentino. He watched as the white skeleton birds that were floating above the Empire's forces fly back up into the sky.

People have read this sentence again.


"Skeletons? Necromancers!"


"What is that cursed being doing there?!"


Mary's eyes began to tremble at these words.


Tasha took the hand of the girl she saw as her niece and gave her a reassuring look. Her eyes were saying 'don't worry, we are here'.


Mary tried to relax.


He could also see light shining down on the faces of the Empire's forces again as the birds had been covering up the son.

That was right. There were too many. Mary wondered if it was really her or someone else.Could there be another necromancer other than her?


"Your highness, I will be on my way as well."

'What? Hilsman?'

Crown prince Valentino watched Vice Captain Hilsman floating up into the sky. Vice Captain! The human said to make sure I don't leave you behind!

Hilsman listened to Raon's voice and thought about his lord that was looking for him.

It was time for him to get involved in the war as well.

War. Hilsman's expression hardened quickly. He took on the appearance of a real soldier.

"This-"

Crown prince Valentino and his knights blankly watched Hilsman fly away.

The Vice Captain no longer had the silly expression on his face as it was replaced with a serious expression fitting a highest-grade expert.

"Please take care of the rest."

"Huh? Why? Am I with them?"


Adin studied Valentino's face. This naive man could not betray him. He was sure of it.


So why did he tell him to handle it?


What would he have done?


Crown prince Valentino returned to his senses as Hilsman quietly whispered to him and quickly started to shout.

"Capture that person! He is a subordinate of the bastard who tried to kill Adin!"

He then looked around.

He made eye contact with Imperial Prince Adin.

Valentino walked toward him with a concerned expression on his face.

He needed to remain as Adin's close friend for now. It was not yet time for Valentino to stab Adin in the back.

"Traitors! The kingdoms are trying to unite and destroy our mighty empire! This was obvious from the very beginning!"
