Over at Emperor Varan's camp, prolonged confusion hung on the faces of every commander and captain present in the abandoned building where their meeting was held.
The arrival of Hecate and her Dreamcatchers brought joy to the human side – This much was true.
However, it also brought greater confusion to Emperor Varan's side.
No one understood why Hecate was able to arrive with her reinforcement. After all, they had yet to locate Hecate's Devil's Contractor. Thus, communication and striking a deal with the Great Devil shouldn't have been possible.
In that case, why did Hecate and her Dreamcatchers appear?
For personal reasons?
Emperor Varan was under the impression that Hecate had come to settle her feud with Abaddon for the death of her followers. As such, he was concerned that they would still have to face a Great Devil no matter who came out on top.
