After a long silence, King Agenor looked at his three children.
"A bull took away your sister, whom you all had sworn to protect. But now, her whereabouts are unknown."
"It was certainly no accident."
Phoenix said, looking at his father, but Agenor's expression remained unchanged.
"Of course, I know it was no accident. No bull knows how to use its appearance to attract humans, nor can any bull run across the surface of the sea."
"There must be some entity's directive behind this—perhaps some sea monster that can beguile the mind, or some vile demonic monster. There's no need for you to remind me!"
His voice growing louder, Agenor was still in the prime of his life. An invisible pressure rose up around him; he was not only a King but also a mighty warrior capable of battling sea monsters.
