After entering the territory of the Flowers Kingdom, Minos immediately noticed mid-level Spiritual Sages watching him.
Those women were not hiding their tracks, so it had been easy for him to notice their positions as he moved towards the interior of this state.
Minos did not mind their company since he had to follow these women's protocols to rescue Harold and perhaps his grandfather, Oswald. He knew these women would not simply bet with him on something, nor would they give him those two for a deal with the Black Plain.
Even with potential, the Black Plain Empire was light years away from the level of the Flowers Kingdom!
Knowing all this, he intended to accept the challenge from some of the women of the royal family and have as his prize the freedoms of those two individuals.
