THIRD PERSON'S POV

TWO days have passed.

Kallisto sighed while looking at the silver-haired girl that was in his bed. She hadn't wake up in those two days. And his Abyss was holding out in maintaining her Celestia that seemed to be restless and breaking at the same time.

The Celestia was still working for him, because he hadn't feel any pain, even though the Celeste was unconscious. However, he knew that if she died, the burning coldness would once again devour his whole being.

He felt conflicted and overwhelmed. Once you get to feel pain-free, it is addicting. So, he was doing all that he could to save the dying Celeste. Napahilot din siya sa sintido dahil sa dami nang nangyari.

The white fox didn't leave the Celeste's side, and Kallisto only gave it some fruits because the maid of Evienne, Leah, informed him how Evienne treated the white fox. At first, he couldn't believe how ridiculous the situation was.

Who in their right mind would treat a beast like it was a pet?

Soon, it made sense.

Of course, it was only her.

He thought that Evienne maybe lost some screws for her to change this much.

The orange fox still hadn't woken up. It was also Kallisto who treated it so it wouldn't die. It wasn't like he could ask anyone to do it. Who knows what might happen if the news of a beast in the Second Prince Palace spread?

He could already feel incoming headaches.

He made sure that the foxes would stay invisible with Evienne, too.

There was a lot that happened in the span of two days. He became busy, but he didn't leave the Palace, even though he should have. He just couldn't. Because once he left, the hold of the Abyss in Evienne's plate would break. And that was the last thing that he wanted to happen.

So, instead, he did all his works inside his bedroom. He asked his people to set up a small office in one corner of it, and through that, he proceeded in doing all the works that he needed to finish.

Katulong niya si Mildred sa ginagawa. Mildred was the one hands-on in what they were doing. Ito ang pumunta muli sa Mt. Harbridge at nag-imbestiga tungkol sa mga monster at sa pagiging berserk ng fox.

It was unusual. Beasts, when they berserk, weren't that aggressive and massive. What happened to the fox was doubled of what it was usually like. Additionally, he found it peculiar that the eyes of the fox changed.

He was sure that its eyes were red, but when Evienne managed to stop and tame it. He saw it clearly that it became green. Those things never happened, no matter how powerful the beasts were.

Napabuntonghininga na lang siya sa iniisip na problema. Kailangan niyang malaman kung bakit nangyayari 'yon, because he was sure that it had something to do with why the monsters were active during a supposed-to-be peaceful season.

Pinalinis niya rin sa pinagkakatiwalaang mga knight, at mage ang nangyari sa bundok. He also sent a messenger to ensure that the Crown Prince and the Emperor were notified about the sudden attack.

However, he kept what happened to the fox and Evienne a secret.

He still needed to introduce the Celeste to his older brother and father personally, but he didn't know when and how. His brother doesn't even have his Celeste in the Kingdom yet, so he wanted to be careful, especially in the eyes of the other nobles.
