“The king of mankind… Becoming the ruler of a single nation is no small feat, yet you speak of something far greater.”0

Even Alteman, an elf who had lived for a thousand years since the Magical Era, had never even dared to imagine something like that. 0

“You’re right, becoming the king of a nation isn’t easy, but I already rule over Tatur, the principality, the Three Kingdoms of Istria, and the southern barbarian tribes. Soon, all the immigrant tribes of the north will follow me as well.”0

Karyl remained confident, his expression unyielding, and Alteman could only chuckle at his demeanor. 0

“And how do you plan to deal with the seal?”0

“As Ethereal said, breaking the seal will cause the images embedded within the ice to vanish. Though I’m curious about the significance of this scene, I’ll wait a bit longer.”0

“Why?”0

“I’ve learned one valuable thing—to never trust just one side of the story. If that golden-eyed man is connected to Rasis, then it’s better to break the seal only after both powers, Light and Darkness, are gathered. There’s no point in rushing without understanding the full picture first.”0
