As night fell, the sky turned a dusky gray, and lights glowed at the entrance of the ancient Knell Castle.
In the light, Kru's lackeys all knelt on the ground, their cheeks and bodies pressing tightly against the surface, shivering uncontrollably.
On the ground, Rody, who lay limp like a dead dog, saw this scene, his eyes wide and his mouth agape, trying to say something but feeling as if something were stuck in his chest, unable to utter a word, his mind a complete blank.
Kru's mind was also a blank.
At that moment, he experienced a sensation of being in a dream.
In the depths of his heart, he hoped it was a dream, a nightmare, that after waking from this nightmare, besides breaking out in a cold sweat, nothing would have changed, and he, Kru, would still be the ruler of the Knell Family...
"Kru, where is my Grandfather?"
Just as Kru fantasized that he was only experiencing a nightmare, Daphne's words startled him awake.
