King Ray's expression turned from hope-filled to solemn. A whirlwind of anxiety struck everyone in the king's hall like a thunderstorm. They had thought they would see the Hitwicker's Sword that the prince had been stabbed with, unfortunately, now, it was declared to be missing.
Saverio's only option was that the masked woman had come back to take the sword. He wondered how it would also be possible for her to come back if she was stabbed by the same sword too. Wouldn't the stab cause an upheaval? Or perhaps, the Hitwicker's Sword didn't cause much pain just like how he didn't experience much? But he had thought that was because he wasn't human.
However, there was a transparent relief in Saverio because the sword wasn't found, he didn't agree to the fact that he had to pick a random woman and then stab her so he could marry and break the curse the cursed weapon had placed on him.
