"Who's there?" Sophie's sharp voice cut through the stillness.

She immediately sensed something was off.

Her King Parasite stirred, signaling that something-or someone-had entered the

room.

Instinctively, she assumed it was a person. Her eyes swept across every corner, but the room was empty.

Her frown deepened. "Search again," she commanded silently. The King Parasite obeyed, scouring the room twice more. Still, there was nothing.

Sophie's brows furrowed tightly. The King Parasite never made mistakes.

This was no ordinary parasite-it was the King Parasite, a powerful entity entrusted to her by those who had once sought to protect her.

It was the reason she had defied death and stood here now, alive and unyielding.

Their fates were intertwined. If she died, the King Parasite would perish with her. And if it died, so would she. That bond was absolute, and Sophie would never doubt it.

If the King Parasite sensed something, then it had to be real. Whatever had slipped past its watch was no ordinary presence.

'Wait, could it be another parasite?' The thought sent a chill down her spine.

She recalled the warning she had received: Hasen City was home to other sorcerers. But there were rules-unspoken but ironclad. Trespassing on another's territory without permission wasn't just reckless; it was a provocation, a declaration of war.

'Could another sorcerer have noticed something strange about the parasites I refined and decided to target me?'

'It's not that I don't suspect Adeline, but that fool probably doesn't even know what

a sorcerer is, let alone hire one.'

'No, wait! Could it be Father?'
