Most of the remaining Cezar troops had been subdued. Some had fled toward their homeland when Simila vanished.

A cursory interrogation of the prisoners of war revealed that Cezar had long been controlled by Simila and the cult centered on worshipping it. The current king, in particular, did whatever the cult founder said, leaving royal family members and magistrates powerless. Speaking out against decisions was tantamount to asking for death. All the while, the founder amassed sacrifices from all over the country to make a corpse army. Among those bodies given were living people who forfeited their lives to Simila for the sake of the long-awaited war against Farsas.

The cruelty and tragedy sounded like a terrible joke. Oscar made a face. “Should I kill that cult leader?”

He hadn’t seen any such person during the fighting. Perhaps they were safe back in their own land.

Still, now that Tinasha had destroyed the object of their worship, the cult and its leader would lose power. Things inside Cezar would probably fall to pieces, but that lay outside Oscar’s area of responsibility.

While arranging for post-battle cleanup, Oscar headed back to the fortress to go and see the woman who had won the day.

Naturally, he was aghast to discover something had happened that no one could have foreseen.

“What’s going on here?”

Kav shrank back in the face of the king’s indignation. Face pallid, he explained what had happened.

Someone had abducted Tinasha from the room where she was resting.

Sylvia had also been present and had been seriously wounded during the attack. Kav had learned of the events while healing her.

Fury blazing in his blue eyes, Oscar asked, “Did he have silver hair?”

The first possible culprit Oscar thought of was that demon king. He wouldn’t put a stunt like this past someone like him. However, the answer he got indicated otherwise.

“No. It sounds like she didn’t get a very good look at his face, but he was wearing black mage robes,” Kav replied.

Oscar mulled that over, and then another possibility occurred to him. “Could it be… Valt?”

Reports had identified a male mage as being responsible for an attempt to poison Tinasha before she took the throne and for planting Delilah in the castle. Word had it that he bore a close resemblance to a Yardan court mage by the name of Valt who had visited Farsas before disappearing overnight.

And the Simila cult sent Delilah to Farsas Castle.

Everything was coming together. Valt’s aim was Tinasha all along. He had tried to extricate the young queen from Farsas and take her for himself. Oscar cursed himself for taking so long to realize this.

Mila, evidently unable to stand it any longer, shouted, “Karr! This is all your fault! Why weren’t you with Lady Tinasha?!”

“I’m sorry…,” Karr replied, hanging his head and making no attempt to defend himself.

Mila looked like she wanted to start in on him, but Oscar interrupted. “Tinasha and I are the ones responsible. Can you track where she’s gone?”

“Unfortunately… I can’t sense Lady Tinasha’s magic at all,” Mila confessed. “I think she’s either closed it off herself or something powerful has sealed it.
