'The Prophesied Child? Didn't Paul call me that too right before he died?' Drai thought. He cast a wary look at Zar, suspecting that the old man was somehow connected to these robed people too. The thing that prevented Drai from truly believing this notion was Zar's action of killing Wilfred, which Drai thought didn't make any sense if the two were actually on the same side.
"So you've heard of it before," Zar said upon seeing Drai's reaction.
"…Yes. Before I killed Paul, he suddenly wanted to talk with me while calling me 'the Prophesied Child'—just like what you're doing right now, Rector," Drai admitted while secretly tensing his leg muscles, ready to run in case his suspicion came true.
A look of understanding dawned on Zar's face. "Ah, I see why you're on edge. But I'm not working with the Crimson Order—at least not anymore."
"'Not anymore'?" So you used to work with them?" Drai asked, taken aback by Zar's statement.
