In the narrow passage, a pure and clear light suddenly blossomed.

Annan, with two wings of light raised high and his whole body radiating brilliance, pierced forward into the dim realm like a meteor.

"Indeed, it is you, Vladimir."

The winged humanoid, holding a scepter of three colors and shimmering with light, hovered in the air, emitting a voice with overlapping echoes.

Vladimir simply reduced the influence range of his Sublime Falsehood, shielding himself within it.

"Oh?"

He uttered a deep and chilling voice, "And when did you discover me... Your Majesty?"

"Naturally, from the very beginning."

Annan answered, "I saw you the moment you arrived here."

Shortly after Selicia was sent down to the dungeon.

Annan's Curse Binding, "Angel's Left Eye," suddenly sent a faint sensation of burning pain.

He clearly saw a bright red humanoid figure suddenly light up underground.

This was proof of the "Traitor" appearing by his side—and that was precisely the moment Vladimir appeared.
