"What are you suddenly talking about?”

The White Star asked Mock as he observed him.

Mock became nervous after hearing his voice but quickly responded.

“I come with some useful information.”

“Information?”

“Yes, your majesty.”

Smirk.

A smile appeared on the White Star's face.

“Is it information that you gathered without my knowledge?”

Flinch.

Mock's shoulders slightly shook.

He slowly raised his bowed waist and looked at the White Star.

The White Star's non-masked face and his stoic eyes were looking at him.

‘…I feel this every time, but it’s too different.’

Mock became tense every time he saw the White Star’s face without a mask.

Of course, he had not seen it many times.

‘This is the third time.’

Even Mock who had served him as his liege for a long time had only seen it three times.

It was a special moment that came every so often on a schedule. His face was only visible during those times.

It just happened to be right now when he visited this time.

When he had his mask on and when he didn't…

The White Star’s demeanor felt too different.

That was why Mock was daring enough to seek a Duke position but did not dare to become king.

Peek.

Mock peeked toward the tub the White Star was dipping in.

It was full of a black liquid.

The White Star looked peaceful dipping in a tub of dead mana.

‘What a vicious human.’

Mock quickly stopped thinking that the White Star was a vicious human before bowing again.

“My apologies, your majesty.”

There was no need to say anything else. It was better not to make excuses.

“So…”

The White Star opened his mouth again.

“What is this weakness of Cale Henituse that you brought me?”

“…Do you know about the black castle inside the Forest of Darkness?”

‘The Forest of Darkness.’

The White Star’s eyes sparkled the moment he heard that, but Mock who was bowing could not see that.

“No, I do not know about the black castle.”

Mock continued to bow as he offered the document forward.

“Please take a look at this.”

The document that Duke Fredo had created that he had received from Naru…

Mock had used that information to create this new document.

It was so that he could get all the merits for it.

“Bring it here.”

Mock approached the White Star and handed him the document.

“Hmm.”

Flip, flip.

The document was slowly flipped page by page and an odd smile was on the White Star’s face as he read through it.

Mock could see the tired eyes of the man who had lived numerous lives for the past 1,000 years slowly starting to light up.

‘It worked!’

That made him certain that he could proceed with this plan.

It was based on his intuition from serving the White Star as his liege for a long period of time.

The document was closed.
