I took my time finding Prince Plintus.
It would be difficult for anyone, including myself, to see through his disguises, given how adept he was at cloaking himself... In fact, standing in front of him and looking at him, I realized that I was being overly confident in my abilities.
There was no way I could find him with my abilities.
'Thankfully, I'm always prepared.'
Just prior to that, downstairs, when Prince Plintus was still in shock over the situation, I made the most of the opportunity to arrive in front of him and press my hand against his shoulder. I could have sneaked up on him back then and attacked him, but I decided to go with a different strategy instead.
…Leaving a mark on his body.
It was never my intention to kill him; rather, the goal was to locate the mana compressor and destroy it.
