After the occasion commemorating Ruth's advance, Minos returned to his work, dealing with matters concerning mainly his army.
He had constantly been getting his men to spread stories throughout the empire, something he wanted to use to contact the Spiritual Sage helping Abe.
Abe on his own was tricky since this fellow had specialized in running away since the event in the Vogel capital. But without the Spiritual Sage who would save him in certain situations, that former prince could be taken down after some work.
The problem was that no amount of work would be worth it if he were somehow rescued every time. So Minos devised a plan to try to communicate with the Spiritual Sage in question to get this individual away from Abe.
He would not be able to get close to someone at the 9th stage, so the only way Minos had thought of had been precisely through rumors.
