The Path of Ruin

The sky was painted gray forever. The light of the sun was restrained. The darkness of the night was deeper than ever. At such a time, he belonged to a class people didn't even recognize as 'human'. He was at the bottom of the social stratum, a slave. And when his only family was taken away from him... he no longer had a purpose in life. Yet, he clung to life because of his promise. And he set an impossible goal for himself, just so he'd have an excuse to live. When he finally reached a place he never expected to be, in pursuit of a purpose he expected to fail and die miserably trying to fulfill... he awoke to a night that would change his entire life.

Preparations

The larger the group traveling, the longer the travel time.

Moreover, when Kael saw the Second Princess's squad, they were still a day away from reaching the town.

If they rested in the town for two days, they should travel around seventeen to nineteen days from there to here.

In short, subtracting the nine days it took Kael to get back to the capital and the distance to the town on the day he saw them... he had nine to eleven days to prepare.

Each one had a different effect.

But they had one thing in common... they were all poison.

All of them.

Some were lethal, some hallucinogenic, some messed with the digestive system, some made it impossible to sleep.

He knew what they were all for. And he was going to use that.
