The sorceress arrived without her crown at the plain solar of the Murdgen Palace. She knew something was wrong when the units of the Redgess were also invited to the high table.

A dinner of silence as they fixed their agitated eyes on Larreis, sitting next to the Queen of Murdgen and opposite the lord of the Redgess.

The queen spoke to Larreis, saying, "As the new prophecy has revealed itself quite clearly enough this evening, as we all know here, including you, the queen of your Sorcist..." The queen revealed Larreis's crown on her head from an invisible spell, and everybody hid their impressions of seeing it. "You're here to state which one of your units, a woman to be precise, is responsible for it. Life matters to you, does it not?"

Larreis eyed everyone as her crown disappeared, then faced the queen and responded, saying, "How can you tell it was a woman? But if that's what you believe, It should be me."

"You? That's a risky confession."

"Well... for whatever this is. And as your friend, you never told me you're a member of these redgesses, have you?" Then she looked at their furious eyes fixed on her.

"I rule them. The Redgess. Should I even told you that when it's clearly obvious? And if you wouldn't give a name after I ask you this again, I can burn each one of them to confess, and you'll be the last one, my friend. So, who is this woman we know dwells in your rebellious house?"

"If not you, it's just me," Larreis said as she was looking into her food.

The queen was silently dismayed, and she stopped cutting the meat with a knife and drank up a goblet of wine before she said, "You see, I do not know how I deeply know when you're lying. Or maybe, we just spent too much time together?"

"We did, unfortunately."

"You may leave the palace now and let the world know what we've discussed about to be prepared this evening."

Larreis stood up and said, "it's nice to have a dinner with you again, Esofere," then she waited for the queen to look back at her but didn't happen as the queen continued chewing.

After Larreis left the solar quickly, the redgesses muttered, and one asked the queen, "You're letting her go?"

"She must be the first one to burn in hell," the other one muttered.

As the sorceress just stepped out of the Murdgen Palace, the redgesses raided the world once more as they roamed across the world and sucked blood out of some living humans.

"Larreis!"

Larreis looked back and saw the Lord of Redgess staring into her soul.

After a minute of no words, she rushed into the Sorcist Fortress, released from its blue flame protection. Inside, she found the gruesome death of her units, depleted of blood.

Then she appeared at her interdimensional house, in a room, and found her daughter there alive under her little bed. Scared and sobbing behind her wooden doll wrapped in her arms.

"Hey, Adyna..." She called her daughter with black hair.

When Adyna saw her mother, she quickly got out and embraced her tightly, dropping her doll on the floor.

"Stay here until I'm back, okay?" Larreis said.

"But I want to fight them too," Adyna replied, as her face pressed on Larreis's stomach.

Adyna's golden eyes gazed up at her mother, then Larreis just tightened her arms around her daughter.
