"What are you suddenly talking about?”

The White Star asked Mock as he observed him .
Mock became nervous after hearing his voice but quickly responded .

“I come with some useful information . ”
“Information?”
“Yes, your majesty . ”

Smirk .

A smile appeared on the White Star's face .

“Is it information that you gathered without my knowledge?”

Flinch .

Mock's shoulders slightly shook .
He slowly raised his bowed waist and looked at the White Star .

The White Star's non-masked face and his stoic eyes were looking at him .

'…I feel this every time, but it's too different . '

Mock became tense every time he saw the White Star's face without a mask .
Of course, he had not seen it many times .

'This is the third time . '

Even Mock who had served him as his liege for a long time had only seen it three times .
It was a special moment that came every so often on a schedule . His face was only visible during those times .

It just happened to be right now when he visited this time .

When he had his mask on and when he didn't…
The White Star's demeanor felt too different .

That was why Mock was daring enough to seek a Duke position but did not dare to become king .

Peek .

Mock peeked toward the tub the White Star was dipping in .

It was full of a black liquid .
The White Star looked peaceful dipping in a tub of dead mana .

'What a vicious human . '

Mock quickly stopped thinking that the White Star was a vicious human before bowing again .

“My apologies, your majesty . ”

There was no need to say anything else . It was better not to make excuses .

“So…”

The White Star opened his mouth again .

“What is this weakness of Cale Henituse that you brought me?”
“…Do you know about the black castle inside the Forest of Darkness?”

'The Forest of Darkness . '

The White Star's eyes sparkled the moment he heard that, but Mock who was bowing could not see that .

“No, I do not know about the black castle . ”

Mock continued to bow as he offered the document forward .

“Please take a look at this . ”

The document that Duke Fredo had created that he had received from Naru…
Mock had used that information to create this new document .

It was so that he could get all the merits for it .

“Bring it here . ”

Mock approached the White Star and handed him the document .

“Hmm . ”

Flip, flip .

The document was slowly flipped page by page and an odd smile was on the White Star's face as he read through it .

Mock could see the tired eyes of the man who had lived numerous lives for the past 1,000 years slowly starting to light up .

'It worked!'

That made him certain that he could proceed with this plan .
It was based on his intuition from serving the White Star as his liege for a long period of time .

Tap .

The document was closed .

"It looks good . ”

The White Star handed the document back to Mock after saying that .
Mock carefully took the document and stood there with his head down .

The White Star looked out the window for a moment as he started to think .

“He is my fated enemy . ”

One side had the Demon World . The other side had the gods .

“We are people who were chosen by different transcended beings . ”

He stood up from the tub .

Chhhhhhhh-

The black liquid did not fall down and swirled around his body .

“But he and I are different . ”

The White Star's eyes no longer looked tired .

“A transcended being . I will become a transcended being myself . However, he will not be able to become a god . ”

The White Star started to smile .
He turned away from the window and looked down at Mock .

“Count, proceed as you've planned, however . ”
“Don't let it hinder my greater plan . ”
“Thank you for trusting me, your majesty . ”

Mock was truly thankful .

“Then I will take my leave now, your majesty . ”

Mock started to walk toward the door . He heard the White Star's nonchalant voice as he walked .

“Did it say you were going to drag Naru into it?”
“Yes, your majesty . ”
“Please make sure he does not get hurt . ”

Mock looked toward the White Star .
He had a picturesque expression on his face .

“I understand, your majesty . ”
“And also see if he can be a useful subject . ”

Mock's shoulders flinched . He looked back toward the White Star .
The White Star still had a warm expression on his face, but his voice just sounded cold to Mock .

“Based on what I saw this time, he seemed to have the potential to become as strong as Duke Fredo . That is why you should let him take charge when it is not dangerous in order to see if he has what it takes . ”

Mock started to think .

“Naru is the Endable Kingdom's future . ”

'You mean you need a strong subordinate rather than that he is the future of the Endable Kingdom . '

Mock was the only old man among the first nobles .
He had lived for a long time .
That was why he had his years of experience .

“I will definitely keep that in mind, your majesty . ”

He bowed to the White Star but did not trust him .

“I will definitely return with results to satisfy you . ”
“Good . You may leave . ”
“Yes, your majesty . ”

Mock carefully opened the door and stepped out .

Click .

The door closed with a quiet noise .
The White Star looked at the closed door before dipping back into the tub .

“Chief Priest . ”

One of the walls moved and created a path after he called out . Chief Priest Gersey walked out of the path while carefully holding a white mask that was wrapped in a white cloth .

“Yes, your majesty . ”
“Didn't Count Mock come up with a good plan?”
“It does seem that way . We will be able to calm the noble awaiters' complaints if we go with the Count's plan . ”

Gersey and the White Star made eye contact .
A gentle smile appeared on the Chief Priest's face .

“We should be able to carry on with the festival without any issues as well . ”

Gersey sternly added on .

“There should be no issues with our grand vision . ”

The White Star started to close his eyes after hearing that and lowered his body deep into the tub .
Gersey quietly moved back after seeing his action as he continued to speak .

“I will bring you the mask when it is time, sire . ”
“Sure . ”

The White Star closed his eyes completely once his body was deep inside the tub .

The night continued on that way .

Cale touched the top button of his shirt as his neck felt a bit stuffy .
A purple-eyed boy was frowning at him as he stood in front of the mirror .

“My son . ”

And past the boy's shoulder… Duke Fredo was lying on the bed looking sick .
Fredo started to speak again after hearing no response from Cale .

“My son . ”
“What?”
“Are you going to the grand assembly hall now?”
“Yeah . ”

Fredo looked at Naru/Cale's back and started to shake his head .

“My goodness, my son's answers are all so short . ”

Cale just ignored him and headed toward the bedroom door .
He was pretending to be a filial son who had spent all night nursing his unconscious father before finishing his preparations and heading toward the castle to see the results of his motion .

Cale heard Fredo's voice again before he started to turn the doorknob .

“Do not look down on the White Star . ”
“…What do you mean?”
“The mask that he is always wearing . That is an item from the Demon World . Only the White Star and Chief Priest Gersey know about its powers . ”

The mask truly did come over from the Demon World .

Cale who was looking at the door without turning around starting to think about the excommunicated priestess Cage .

“However…”

Fredo continued to speak at that moment .

“The White Star is completely different with the mask and without the mask . ”

Fredo's gaze sank as he looked at Cale's back .

“His face without the mask shows the appearance of a man who truly has lived over and over again for 1,000 years . ”

His tired and stoic gaze truly revealed itself when he took the mask off .
That was when the White Star's true self was revealed as well .

“Of course, he cannot take the mask off very often until he becomes a member of the Demonic race . He can only take it off during special times . This is something the White Star and Gersey know . The Deputy Chief Priest is the only one other than the two of them who knows about this . ”

Fredo also knew about this .
Basically, Fredo was saying that he knew about this because he was working with the Deputy Chief Priest .

Cale's gaze became sharp for a moment as he looked at the door before returning to normal as he started to speak .

“I don't look down on anyone . ”

After realizing this new side of Duke Fredo as it related to the members of the Ranger Brigade, Cale was now paying attention to everything .
Cale turned around and looked at Fredo .

“Anyway, I will keep what you just said on my mind . ”

Fredo just laughed and said goodbye as if he could not do anything about Cale who had nonchalantly responded to his warning .

“Okay then . Have a safe trip, my son . ”

Cale ignored him and walked out of the bedroom .

Click .

The bedroom door soon closed and Fredo started to mumble to himself while looking at the door .

“Hmm . I hope he really does keep it on his mind . ”

The masked White Star and the unmasked White Star .
The difference between the two was something you had to experience yourself to know .

They truly were different .

“It feels as if they are different people . ”

Fredo decided he would describe it better for Cale once he returned before getting out of bed .
He lightly stretched before heading toward a wall without a mirror .

Click .

His finger pushed on a part of the wall .

There was someone who was secretly watching him while invisible .
That being recalled what Cale told him early that morning .

'I really can't trust him . He seems like a good bastard to his subordinates, but I don't think he is a good person . '

His invisible chubby front paws quickly covered his mouth .

The owner of those paws… Raon held back the words that he accidentally almost blurted out and just said it to himself internally .

'Our human truly is smart when it comes to things like this!'

Boooooooom-

An arch-shaped path appeared on the wall Fredo pressed on .

Tap . Tap .

Fredo walked down the staircase inside the path .

'Human! I, the great and mighty Raon Miru will figure everything out!'

Raon made sure Fredo walked all the way down before stealthily heading toward the mirror .

Tap .

He tapped on it very quietly .

It was so quiet that someone with higher than normal hearing would need to be focusing very hard in order to hear it .

Raon then quickly but carefully started to follow Fredo down the stairs .

'Raon . Of course, your safety is the top priority . '

Raon clearly remembered Cale's words so he prepared a spell in order to escape at any moment if needed before flying down .
A moment later…

Shhhhhh-

The mirror opened .
A person who had higher than normal hearing and was focusing harder than ever before came through the mirror and into the bedroom .

'Raon gave me the sign properly . There really is nobody in here . '

That person was Choi Han .
Choi Han confirmed that nobody was in the bedroom before quietly looking at the open path and stealthily starting to move .

'Choi Han . You find an opening to search the bedroom . Gather any and all useful information . '

Choi Han followed Cale's order to search the bedroom without making any noises .
His movements were so stealthy that even the butler outside the door did not realize he was there .

As for Cale, he followed Fredo's trusted subordinate Solena and got on the carriage .
Cale leaned on the seat of this now-familiar carriage as Solena started to speak .

“To the castle . ”

Solena ordered the driver who started to lead the carriage to the white castle .

Clack . Clack .

Cale leaned on the back of the seat and looked out the window .

'When he is wearing the mask and not wearing the mask… He seems very different?'

He was thinking about what Fredo had told him .
Fredo didn't know this, but Cale saying, 'I will keep that in mind,' meant that he would remember it more seriously than anything else .

It meant that he would record it .

'An item from the Demon World…'

The White Star and his white mask .

'Looks like I need to investigate a bit . '

Cale started to think about the excommunicated priestess Cage with whom he was supposed to chat later tonight .
She should know something about it .

The carriage slowly approached the castle as these plans moved together to create a picture in Cale's mind .

“I will now announce the results of the motion brought forth by Naru Von Ejellan!”

Count Mock shouted inside the grand assembly hall louder than ever before .
100 peoples' gazes were focused on him right now .

“The result is the 'Destroy the Black Castle' plan . ”

The grand assembly hall became rowdy at that moment .
Most of the people could not hide their shock at this unexpected revelation of a plan that seemed odd to be the results of a motion .
However, the people who knew about what happened last night were all looking at Count Mock with different gazes .

There would be no more grand assemblies after this one until after the festival .
This was the last grand assembly before the festival .

“The details of the plan are simple . ”

Count Mock revealed this 'festival' of a battle that 96 people had been wanting for a long time .

“We will destroy Cale Henituse's base . ”
