After the incident in professor Toc's study room, Ricco had no time to process about what happened as he received a tip about the plan of attacking that famous village of the hybrids in the east side of the country. That certain place that he just defended from the night crawlers were threatened of being attacked by their same kind. He had to know who issued the order and that was why he was with Celeste later that night.
But no matter how he tried to use any device to make Celeste slipped a word about it, she won't budge. It seemed that she was being careful around him these days and he suspected that she might had notice his cover lately. But he can't be sure. For now, he had sent a letter to the king, inquiring if he had command to the annihilation of the hybrid community he once defended.
