Edmund Gerwyn knew something was wrong with Sebastian De Louis right now.
The man's strength was not what it used to be. There was a killing aura and an aura of darkness surrounding him. His all-black appearance made Edmund guess that the Crown Prince must have been swallowed by the darkness. But, why? Was it because he was angry with him and Penelope when they brought him before the Emperor and had him punished in the palace's prison? Or, was it because the man hated him so much that he thought he had taken Penelope Askary from him? Or... Goddess Oizys made contact with Sebastian De Louis, met this man, and controlled his mind? Whatever the reason, Edmund couldn't be careless. He had to be careful.
"Ethan Askary," called Edmund in a firm tone. He glanced at his brother-in-law and smiled. "Please, protect my children."
"What?" Ethan shook his head. "No! I will help you here!"
"I alone am enough to fight Sebastian De Louis."
