The Empire's Succession

"I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Roan nodded in response and stopped sending Dark Element into Valeu's body.

"I'm acting alone inside the Profound Abyss. However, there is indeed a contingency plan in case I fail. The elder who brought us this time around is also fighting for our cause. The plan was for Calina to die in the Profound Abyss so that no one would have anything to say. However, if she survives, that elder is supposed to finish the job and put the blame on the Shadow Reapers."

Rean and Roan narrowed their eyes after hearing that. They still remembered that they had been targeted by the Shadow Reapers in the past. But in the end, Elder Tiria got rid of the guy before they even noticed anything. If Mia hadn't commented about it, they wouldn't even know.

Calina didn't seem surprised to hear it this time.

"I guess that's to be expected since Elder Calan is part of your Samikil Clan."

Valeu nodded.
