The King of the Ancient Tomb said to Ivita, "Shall we hurry now to find your incarnation and that witch? They have set a trap for you, and if we proceed as we are now, I fear we will be overwhelmed."
"Allow me to try," he continued. "I possess an Immortal Body. Even if they temporarily seize control of me, I will not die and can help you assess their capabilities."
Ivita, supremely calm, responded, "Among them is the daughter of the Witch Queen, and we know nothing of her. Your rash action might lead to your death."
The head of the Imperial Guards of Alsace, to succeed in his plan, needed to unite many forces. His ability to command the princesses of the three kingdoms under the rule of the Northern Winter Law demonstrated his competence.

"Let's first clear out the Black Death servants within the Lombardy Duchy."
"Then we will go after them."
