After his call with Commander Magdalena, Ves fell into an awful mood. He locked himself inside his stateroom and brooded over the possibility that Sigrund was targeting him for some reason.
As the most probable instigator of the sandman invasion, Sigrund had enough blood in his hands to drench the entire star sector!
The sandmen had already managed to overrun over a dozen states and were on track to smash some more by the time they exhausted their forces.
The sheer slaughter to both humans and sandmen made it very clear that Sigrund was nothing less than a monster without any immorality in his artificially-modified sandman core!
With such a great threat looming over his head, Ves should be very worried.
He wasn't. In truth, once Ves speculated that Sigrund was directly involved, he knew that his life would never be under threat.
This was because of the pact that he and Calabast had made with the sentient AI.
