There was something unsettling about the way Noir spoke, but Nox couldn't fully wrap his head around it. However, it gave him strange prickles all over his skin.
Still, this was just the least of his worries. Nox was more conflicted about what to say at this moment.
The mysterious demon had just asked for the person responsible for their failure. Technically, he didn't contribute anything, as the entire force was already destroyed upon his arrival.
'If I was to call my name here, I'm setting myself up as a target... but at the same time there's no other person I could name.'
Moreover, Nox wasn't a coward. He wasn't the type to run or lie just to save his ass, so without hesitation, he said—
"The forces were killed by a joint force between Nox Cromwell and the Crown Prince."
A silence fell in the room, and the expression on Number Two's face distorted.
