The crown prince froze in utter shock, unable to process what had just occurred. He instantly pushed Shannon’s chest away and leaped back.

“What the?! What’d you just do?!” Ein shouted, wiping his lips. He pierced his blade through Shannon, who was lying on the ground.

“You’re at your limit, aren’t you?” she asked. “I can tell. You don’t have much strength left in that form...and I know that you’re mentally...a mess. I know it all... I can see right through you!” She spoke clumsily while pausing, enduring the pain. “If only my Blessing...was effective. Even a Demon Lord like you would...”

“Blessing? What you’ve got is a curse. Your skill is nothing, it isn’t even close to the greatness of blessings.”

“Hee hee... No, my blessing is my love, you see... In exchange for...people loving me...I provide them with power... I can enhance one’s true essence...that slumbers deep within them... Misunderstanding the nature of my powers...is but a trivial matter!”

The “Blessing” that she referred to was indeed the Curse of Solitude. As Ein continued to listen to her words, he stabbed her again and again. A warm, crimson substance gushed out, dyeing the ground she lay on.

“I wonder...why...you weren’t charmed,” Shannon murmured. “You’re just...like those two... Misty and...Ramza...”

“I’ll never be charmed by my enemy,” Ein declared. “I just need to fulfill my duties.”

“I see... I don’t...care anymore. Nothing...matters. When I...reunited with you...I thought...I could finally kill you this time...around.”

Her words gradually lost their vigor. Ein had no idea what she was talking about, but he didn’t particularly care to decipher her ramblings either.

“I hate...this...world...” Shannon muttered.

Her voice carried a tone of melancholy—a downhearted timbre conveying that she’d simply resigned herself to her fate. Her final words left her lips and she lay lifelessly on the ground. Ein wasn’t finished just yet.

“You’re next, Garland,” the crown prince growled.

“Ah? Oho... Ah ha ha! You dare say my name so casually? Insolence!” the king shouted.

Garland had remained quiet until now. While no one was sure if he had just completely lost his mind, he sounded unfazed by Shannon’s death and only laughed jovially. Ein sighed and dragged his heavy body to the throne.

“This is truly the end,” Ein muttered.

All he needed to do was stab Garland through the chest, and the war would be over...or would it?

“But first, I’m hungry.”

The strange aural phenomenon struck once again—two Eins could be heard speaking. Then a trio of the monstrous vines shot out from the prince’s back and proceeded to maul Shannon’s remains.

Only able to gasp in shock, Ein found himself unable to stop the vines from burrowing into her fresh chest wound. After wriggling inside around for a moment, they began to crunch on her magic stone. A horrifying orchestra of mastication reached the prince’s ears almost immediately. Seemingly satisfied with the stone they’d devoured, the vines slowly slithered back into Ein and vanished as though they’d never sprouted to begin with.

The crown prince still couldn’t wrap his mind around what had just happened. He gazed down at his palms without uttering another word.
