...Am I already dead?
The Count of Orleans was astounded in his heart.
Rationally, he wanted to dismiss the other's words as nonsense... but he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart.
Ever since obtaining the Skull of the Mad King and deciphering some of its rules, the Count of Orleans simultaneously developed ambition and fear—
On one hand, he believed that with the Skull of the Mad King, he could potentially defeat any enemy; on the other hand, he also understood that he might fail against any enemy.
Is it possible that this time... it's truly abandoned me?
Or perhaps the Swan King inside the Box of Emptiness has awakened? Realized that I've been using him? Now wanting to take the opportunity to kill me?
Or is it that his previous concerns were correct... that Arsene has indeed allied with the Vandom Family and the Hawkeye Organization to uncover the secrets of the Skull of the Mad King, and now they wish to seize my treasures?
