A few minutes after we had freed the chained people and secured all of the Sand Cobras' members, the royal soldiers arrived with the sultan himself.
The guards started taking the bandits into custody, but I told them to split them up with the people who had the flower tattoo on their necks, as those were coerced into committing crimes with a curse.
"So, it was true. Caleb… Why?" the sultan asked the corrupt doctor, who was sitting on the ground with Vespera's spiderwebs holding his movements.
"To survive… Harun…" Caleb replied coldly as the guards arrived and took him away.
I explained to the sultan that it was a plan from the devil Zagor, as a very similar situation was happening in the Droman Empire, and told him everything I had found out during my time there.
"I see. The devil wants to weaken his enemies from the inside…" the sultan muttered.
