“I, Yazmin Muraco from the White Muraco Clan, pledge to be at your service until the day I die,” Yazmin replied solemnly.

“I want you to spread the news of Progenitor's death to the Black Muraco Clan as soon as possible,” Zeke instructed.

Yazmin looked at him in surprise. “Are you sure about that? Once they learn about its death, they'll seize the chance to launch a large-scale attack on us.”

“Just leave it to me and do as I say,” Zeke replied.

Yazmin nodded and left, still reeling in shock from what just happened.

Zeke's gaze flicked toward Progenitor. You'll have to continue playing dead after this.

Progenitor: Why should I?

Zeke raised his fist. Because of this.

The Progenitor flinched. You're so evil!

After making sure Progenitor knew what it had to do, Zeke left and headed straight for Andres' room.

When the clan leader saw Zeke enter, he immediately reported the latest situation. “The people I sent failed to catch the traitor, but don't you worry. Regardless of whether it takes another day or another month, I won't rest until we find the traitor!”

“There's no need for that. You may ask them to come back,” said Zeke.

Andres looked at him, puzzled. “Why?”

“I've already found the traitor,” Zeke revealed.


Huh?

Andrea stared at him, overjoyed. “Who was it? We have rules here, and I'll make sure to mete out severe punishment accordingly.”

“It was Yazmin Muraco.”

What? Andrea's shock was akin to Yazmin's when she found out Zeke was the elder.

“Yazmin... How is this possible? That girl... This is disappointing. I'd suspected others, but never her and Erwen. I never expected this... We raised her since she was little, but I can't believe she turned out to be an ungrateful wretch! How despicable!”

“Certain events forced her hand, so don't blame her. You only have yourself to blame for failing to protect Progenitor,” said Zeke.

Then, he proceeded to retell the “love story” between Yazmin and Claus.

By the time Andres listened to the end, he was seething with rage. “I knew it! I knew the Black Muraco Clan was secretly plotting something! Who would've thought they'd stoop so low! They have the gall to toy with the emotions of one of our clan members to get what they want! There's no way our clans can coexist! That silly child Yazmin has always had a strong sense of loyalty and righteousness. That's why she was easily deceived by what she thought was love.”

After realizing that Yazmin was the victim and was innocent, Andres slowly calmed down.

He had always treated Yazmin as his own daughter, so he could not bear to learn that he had been betrayed by her.

Although she was being used as a pawn in someone's game, I'm glad to know that she didn't betray me intentionally.

“You should withdrew the guerds et the entrence to the White Mureco Clen et once. I've esked Yezmin to help me beet them et their own geme, so we should meke things eesier for her,” Zeke expleined.

Andres immedietely summoned e few of his men end instructed them to pess on his commend to the guerds.
