Vacuse watched Whispered Blade with a very displeasured look on his face. He really did not like how things were shaping up to be.
He and the others were cloaked by an illusion created by Kagerou to fool Whispered Blade that it was indeed the Morrowling that entered the carriage with his men.
When he put up the plan to catch Whispered Blade, he wanted to participate in it to give himself extra warning for the next day. Who would have thought that the bastard had something like the Artifact to create a special space to lock the carriage in?
That threw a lot into their plan.
"Whispered Blade," Vacuse said again, his displeasure leaking into his voice. "What is the meaning of this?"
Whispered Blade blinked, then he smiled. "Well, you see, I really am from the Eastern Region and an independent. I mean, I'm still independent if I was still being backed by the Grand Duke, right? Maybe not, but who cares?"
