"It's from the scouts. The Royal army is heading fast to the bait location. The trains with the Noble families too are coming from each domain. Everything is going as planned. They should arrive by the morning of Tifari." Cislo announced.

"Lovely." I smirked as I felt a hand on my head. I looked up and saw Zazie and I smiled at him before turning back to Norman.

"Vincent, what about that?" Norman asked.

"It's complete. We made it in time. It's already here. Come see it later." Vincent replied.

"Awesome! It's all going without a b*tch!" Barbara yelled.

"It's without a hitch" I giggled as I corrected her. Zazie continued to pat my hoodie.

I only wear my hood up if I'm going hunting or if I'm going on a mission, pretty much I wear it up if it means going outside.

"Medicines?" Norman asked.

"We all had our pills!" Cislo exclaimed.

"And we got plenty of spares!" Barbara exclaimed as she fist-bumped the air.

"Good. We must be all the more cautious when all seems well. Now get proper rest. That's important for your health too." Norman instructed.

"Thanks, boss! It's good to be here." Cislo thanked Norman.

"We're only alive because of you, boss, and Ruthless. And it's thanks to you both that we can do this." Vincent said.

"After what they did to us, we ain't got much time left, y'know. But thanks to the two of you, we get to change the world! Before we die, we get to blow up this worthless trash of a world!" Barbara smiled.

I frowned from under my hood. I was having such a great time that I have forgotten about the side effects of their condition.

"It doesn't matter if this is our end, you and all the children will get to see a whole new world. That's all we could hope for. Doesn't get any better than this!" Cislo exclaimed as Barbara and he had a sad smile on.

"Stop this foolishness. Did you forget that I don't want any blood spilled? I want a full victory. No deaths will be allowed." Norman sternly said.

"You can save your gratitude after we win. We're indeed happy that you're thankful. We're building a new world and everyone will get to see it, together." I said as I stood up and stood beside Zazie.

"We deserve to be free!! The horror of a thousand years will come to an end! Right here, right now!!" Norman yelled and everyone cheered.

I smiled under my hood and started to walk away from everyone. I walked around in the forest and found a tree and in front of the tree was a cliff.

I sat down under it and closed my eyes. As I relaxed, I felt my head start aching.

"Argh!" I groaned as I placed my hand on my head and stood up and leaned my back against the tree.

"Damn it!" I gripped on the tree and I felt my horns growing bigger. I felt tears run down my cheeks and I tried my best not to scream despite the pain. No human could stand this.

"Awahhh..." I heard. I quickly wiped my tears and covered my mouth. Until I felt a presence from beside me.

I looked at Zazie and smiled. The pain went away as soon as I covered my mouth.

"Awaaah?" he asked. I smiled and shook my head.

"No, I wasn't crying. You should go rest. I'll be fine." I reassured him with a smile. He nodded and patted my head before leaving.
