According to Rayls story, soon after the successor appointment ceremony, the princes monsters attacked the Diamond Dukedom.

The first people to be taken hostage were, of course, the young children of the Diamond family.

My father was helpless, too. He couldnt figure out what to do with the crowds of creatures hed never seen before. So did I.

Upon the princes threat, the Duke of Diamond handed over his mana and control over himself.

He became an invoice and a puppet without will.

Well, anyway, thats why. I wonder if your curiosity has been resolved.

Rayls voice, which tells the story, was so calm.

Its as if hes delivering nothing.

However, the green eyes that tell the story showed signs of exhaustion.

So, I have to go back to Acadia.

No one answered what he said.

No, we probably couldnt answer.

I dont know what will happen to my brothers if I dont get back soon, and so will my father.

His calm voice, which was calm when he delivered his situation, was shaking little by little.

But we dont know how to get back.

Rachel hesitated to open her mouth.

After listening to Rachel, Rayl made a look as if he was saying, Yes.

He seemed to have given up.

And he mumbled low with his head down.

Yes, I bet you dont believe me because I betrayed you.

Then Eugene stepped in and talked.

No, its not wrong, but I really dont know. Anyone who knows how to get back to the Academy from here.

His blue eyes came out and headed toward the woman as white as snow.

Yerine, you dont know, do you?

His eyes rolled toward the woman as I shook my head still.

Do you know how to get back to the place before we came here?

Ill let you go when its time.

The woman turned her head slightly and looked at her wrist and said.

Shining grey hair in the sun flowed down from her shoulders. Red eyes shone over the waving veil.

Its not time yet. Ill send you when that time comes.

She drew a circle in the air with her fingers.

There was an opaque membrane that suited the shape of her circle, and she looked at it carefully for a while.

Is there magic like that.?

Not only me but also others were looking at her with a hazy look on their faces.

Even if you dont go right now, your brothers will be safe. You dont have to worry.

The woman looked straight at Rayl and said.

However, Rayl asked back with a puzzled look, wondering if she could not believe what she was saying.

Well, are you talking about me?

Yes, your brothers that you said were held as a hostage, theyre still alive.

She then flipped the white membrane she was looking into and blew it toward Rayl.

Would you like to see it for yourself?

The opposite side of the slowly flying membrane was not as white as I saw it.

It was as clear and transparent as a well-polished mirror, and something was reflected on it.

When the curtain reached in front of him, Rayl, who was momentarily embarrassed, listened to the woman and fixed his eyes beyond the grey membrane.

Theres a special shield around your brothers.

At the womans words, Rayl opened his eyes wide and murmured.

Defensive shield..?

Because of this shield, people with intentions to harm your brothers will be inaccessible. At least for a certain time.

Dont tell me my father secretly ordered protection magic just before he lost his mana

Then he took a big breath and bit his lips hard.

How long is it for a certain period of time? So youre saying that for a while, Rayl, his brothers will be fine, right?

Astra looked at the woman and asked, but Rayl answered instead.

A year or so should be fine. Now that the order has been issued.

Eugene, who was looking at him with a sharp look, asked.

Do you know anything?

Rayl had a strangely sombre look on his face.

It was noticeable that he was confused.

Maybe thats a protective spell that only works with Diamond pedigree. A secret spell unknown to other families.

Rayl poured out his words with difficulty.

It can be used for up to three of the direct blood relatives of the spell user.

Rayl had exactly three younger siblings.

And according to the womans explanation, all three younger brothers seemed to have a shield.

When the user of the order dies, it will activate.

The hall sank rapidly.

It meant that the Duke of Diamond had died.

My right hand, which was ruined by blood and dust, was naturally strengthened.

The moment I recalled Ikers face, who was manipulating the monster to cooperate with him, made me gritted my teeth.

He chose the most precious things to people and used them as weaknesses.

He also took away the most precious things.

From me too.

I noticed his golden eyes.

If I never saw those eyes again, I would collapse endlessly.

Now you know whats going on.

He broke the heavy silence and opened his mouth.

We have to stop him. We cant let him go any longer.

I said, facing the beautiful eyes that were stained as if dyed in blood.

Can you tell me what to do?

The woman showed a subtle embarrassment in my words.

At first glance, the corners of her mouth were very slightly stiff.

As soon as she tried to open her mouth, Erica stepped in.

Well, wait a minute. I have a question.

The woman turned her head and looked at her in careful remarks.

Well, youre a dragon. But if youre a dragon, youre stronger than humans..

Erica hesitated to continue.

Then I think there will be a chance of winning the crown prince.

It was an understandable remark.

It was very sympathetic to me who directly felt the power of her left eye that contained her mana.

Having these eyes, Yerine sometimes has so much mana that she cant control herself.

The original owner of the eyes, she must have more power than Yerine.

So, could you please come down to the human world and help us?

Erica looked at the woman with a pretty desperate look, but the woman couldnt answer her questions right away.

Im sorry. I wish I could, but.

The woman spoke with a serious expression.

When Erica heard the answer, she said Ah!, Rachel and Astras expressions darkened.

I cant use my mana directly on humans. It doesnt have any effect.

I realized that there is no way that she said to Yerine, who hurt her eyes, was about this.

She seemed to have chosen to give her eyes to Yerine because she could not use magic to heal Yerines eyes using her mana.

So theres no way to stop the Crown Prince?

Rachel asked with a look of despair, but the woman shook her head.

No, there is.

But her expression wasnt very bright when she said it.

However, the problem is that the risk is high.

As soon as she finished saying it, the hazy curtain floating in front of Rayl returned to her.

Please look at this.

Beyond the membrane where she pointed, Iker with an expressionless face was seen.

Just looking at his face made my heart flutter, but the scenery behind him shocked me more than his face.

What is this?

Hundreds of monsters, who were procrastinating, were clinging together.

A monster that clumps together and makes a large mass opened its cave-like mouth.

Theyre putting each other together.

Eugene frowned as if he was offended and said.

I think hes going to leave a few of the least powerful ones and put all the mana in one place at once. The more he does that, the more exponential the monsters power is.

Cassius muttered, revealing his disgust.

As expected, most of the mana was on the monster side, not himself.

He doesnt have mana?

Cassius nodded at my question.

Yeah. I saw earlier that Ikers mana was slightly below that of Yerine when he wasnt using magic. Im sure its a lot more, but its no match for this monster.

Eugene put his finger around his mouth and murmured.

Is it because he shouldnt absorb too much mana than his body can withstand?

Monsters are like mana storage for him.

Everyone looked back surprised by the voice from the back.

It was Rayl that made the voice.

The stolen mana is stored in the monster, and the crown prince controls the monster. Monsters can fire their magic as the crown prince tells them to, and objects above the mid-level can freely fire magic according to the princes will.

Come to think of it, most of the monsters moved according to his words.

And so far Iker has never used magic in front of me.

Rayl, who paused for a moment, continued, breathing heavily.

And the mana once stored in that monsters body doesnt affect the body much when its absorbed by the crown prince. I dont know exactly the principle.

So he can absorb it indefinitely?

When asked by Erica, Rayl nodded.

At least he can do that. I know theres a risk.

Rayl added with a dark look.

He knows that and tries to collect as much mana as he can, store it, and absorb it.

At the end of his speech, the woman opened her mouth.

As things stand now, its going to be hard to deal with that monster with anyones mana.

But you told me there was a way.

I talked with our red eyes in eye contact.

Right, theres a way. Im afraid theres no other way but to do it in this condition.

For some reason, her eyes seemed to glow with anxiety.

But I didnt care.

It was important to stop Iker.

Whats the way?

By using your eyes.

Her red eyes were fixed on my left eye.

Then no way.

Cassius murmured as if he couldnt believe it.

Yes.

The woman bowed her head and said.

Yerine could die.
