An Extra’s POV

[Moments Earlier]

Within the Royal Estate, in one of its many beautiful buildings, there existed a particularly lustrous one.

It had very amazing architecture, and the colors shimmered with pure white and gold, even if it was being shrouded by the darkness right before breaking dawn.

It was very large—like a mansion—and it's immediate surroundings were made to be gardens.

This was home to one of the members of the Royal Council.

Lord Knox.

As his garden brimmed with life, despite the darkness, he was currently at the topmost floor of his home, along with three other people.

These were his accomplices—the two other members of the Royal Council that ran the underworld with him.

They were all seated in a round chair within the meeting room, eating and discussing the future of their business.

The only one who stood and paced around was Knox himself.

After all, he knew the kind of dire situation they were in.

"Right now, we're running out of time."

As Knox said this, his long beards twitched as his aged fades began to have more wrinkles.

His gaze swept through the room, looking at how well-furnished his surroundings were, and how much more he wanted to decorate even further.

But the Alliance was meant to be broke, so he couldn't just go around splurging cash.

Those things would have to wait.

His small eyes rested on the other two men in the room. They also shared worried expressions, but it didn't seem like they were taking things as seriously as he was.

'They've captured Evals Redarts. If he talks, we'll be disrupted by those two…'

By 'those two', Knox meant Conrad and Vida.

They were both eyesores that stood against what he stood for.

'Recently, they've amassed too much power and recognition. It makes me, and the rest of us, seemingly irrelevant.'

From the summoning of Otherworlders, to the relationship made with them, and other issues of varying scale—Conrad and Vida always took the initiative.

It infuriated Knox without end.

That was why he had to nip things in the bud as quickly as possible. He recognized that.

The problem was that it wasn't yet time.

They had to very meticulous about their planning, else a lot of things would fall apart even if they succeeded in their task.
