It might be Jester's arrogance that made his defenseless against the betrayal. But once he was hit, it was harder to save himself.
For the past couple of years, Vegal had long witnessed the tragedy firsthand. Although he had been kept in the dark about certain things, due to the important part he played in Yethel and his closeness with Jester, he had long been aware of the God hiding in this country and other figures that had sought refuge under that god.
And it was not only Blue Lotus but many more awakened ones far from Brihma that had also made their way to Yethel, making it more and more prosperous and dangerous as time went by.
Vegal can feel that things are not going the way Jester had planned for this country. But he couldn't voice his opinions; he just watched over Jester, who was made a mockery of by his Lord Emotion.
