With the Whispering Beast's death, the vale mist started to clear.
Of course, come to think of it, the whole concept of a beast with countless eyes turned out to be a man obsessed with a woman far above his social status.
He was a country bumpkin who, from his point of view, fell in love with the Princess of their entire planet. Naturally, that had no substance to it, not when the lover never slept in the same bed with him.
Colt was that simp who would do anything for a lady, despite the many warnings from family, friends, and haters.
When he started moving with the princess, he stopped listening to even his own family. In his mind, listening to them was like listening to haters who wanted to stand in the way of his happiness.
He was completely absorbed in his feelings for the princess that even as a mind cultivator, he couldn't sense he was being manipulated.
