When Master Walter first received the call from Miss Sprengel, he was actually quite wary.
—She claimed there was an urgent matter to discuss, then provided a secret meeting location, requiring him to arrive before sunset—this was all too sudden.
After all, they were all prominent figures.
At the Fifth Power Level, in high positions, they were now the actual center of power in the Antimony Kingdom—since the King was dead and the Queen Consort's position was unstable, they were the de facto "Monarchs."
—As such Monarchs, acting in such an urgent and disheveled manner, does this make any sense?
Not to mention, this ambush-like gathering... really seemed like a trap. For a doubting and vigilant Transcender, he had to wonder if Miss Sprengel intended to make him a ritual sacrifice.
But soon after, Master Walter received a call from Lady Marasia.
The kind and dignified old lady confirmed with Master Walter if Miss Sprengel had called him—the answer was, of course, yes.
