Beyond this jungle was the Great Canyon of Halona and beneath this canyon was a shallow river connected to Lake Ventura which surrounded the island city of Nacalub.
The troops of Harune should be waiting in this canyon, but what Steven saw were their corpses strewn across the valley and down to the river.
There were hundreds of thousands of them, and by the strong smell of blood in the air, it seemed like they had been dead for several hours.
How… who did this?
Steven's face turned pale with fright.
"Oh my! I forgot to tell you…" A teasing voice suddenly echoed behind him.
Hearing this voice, Steven's heart dropped and his body turned stiff.
He could hear the sound of a horse slowly approaching step by step.
The crown prince stopped his horse beside Steven's and spoke.
"A subordinate of mine discovered an unusual letter sent a few days ago. Do you know what was written there?"
Steven trembled at his words.
That letter… is it the one I sent? There's no way!
