“Ah, apologies for the belated introduction,” the armor said, standing straight. “I am Marco, Vice Captain of the Demon Lord’s Imperial Guard. However, we’re more colloquially known as the Black Knights. As you’ve probably gathered from my visage, I am Undead and a Living Armor at that.”

Ein’s attention had been consumed with each and every new term that Marco dropped. Then I must be in... The prince was sure that he was currently in the Demon Castle. But if he were to rephrase things a touch, Ein had been kidnapped and confined within the Demon Castle’s walls. He knew that it would be no small feat to ascertain the Living Armor’s motives, but the prince was keen to take advantage of his current predicament.

“Sir Marco,” Ein started.

“Please, just call me Marco.”

“Marco, what did you mean when you said that ‘my vessel is unstable?’”

“That is the best way I can explain it to you as your vessel has yet to stabilize. I apologize for the lack of a better explanation.”

“A-A ‘vessel?’ A ‘vessel,’ huh...”

Ein’s gut was telling him that Marco was speaking the truth without holding anything back. Even if he pried further, the prince doubted that he’d receive a better answer.

“All right, I’ll set that aside for the moment,” Ein said. “What did you mean about ‘an accident you’re not sure you could defend against?’”

Marco’s voice took on a more serious tone. “There’s a possibility that your core will go berserk...as was the case with Her Majesty.”

The image of the Demon Lord Arshay suddenly flashed across the boy’s mind. “You’re saying there’s a chance I could lose myself and go on a rampage? Just as the Demon Lord had?”

“That is correct. The stink of that foul beast’s curse still hangs over this land, even if it’s slight. I hope you will forgive me for not broaching this topic.”

“Foul beast?”

Ein wracked his mind for a moment before realizing that this “beast” was the very same creature he’d come to investigate.

“It seems you’ve caught on,” Marco said.

“Yes, unfortunately...” Ein replied, using this brief moment to finish his tea with a single gulp.

“The Elder Tree’s leaves are known for soothing one’s nerves along with protecting their psyche. They make for the perfect cup of tea to sip on in a situation such as this.”

Marco knelt down to Ein’s level.

“But why?” the prince asked. “Why are you trying to protect me by warning me of this?”

For what reason did the Living Armor so such concern for this boy? It only left Ein with more questions. Ishtarica was locked in bitter conflict with the Demon Lord when she went berserk. Was it necessary for Arshay’s followers to be so kind and considerate to their enemy’s crown prince?

“Is that what plagues your mind?” Marco asked. “I believe that It’s only natural for a knight to serve the royal family.”

“You’re not wrong, but I’m a member of Ishtarica’s royal family,” Ein replied.

Hence, there’d be no reason for such treatment.

However, Marco’s reply was tinged with a hint of confusion.
