It was baffling

Meanwhile, in the fort of the mainland, which was also known as the center of trade, things were still moving like usual. Ships from different kingdoms were authorized to unload their goods, move hand in hand, and then they would load other goods produced on the mainland. 

It was busy, as always.

Miguel had kept his eyes on the scene, leaning against the stacked crates with his arms folded under his chest. Even though he already had a 'proper' talk with the queen, Miguel continued securing the security in the fort for a reason he also didn't know exactly. 

"I am no longer the Aries I used to be, and I don't blame anyone for it, nor do I feel sorry about it. I will ruin this land just like how it ruined the peace I painstakingly built. Try as much as you can to stop me, Lord Miguel. If you do, you might just save everyone just as you wish. However, until then, I will not stop or delay my plans."

"I hope you succeed. I really do, Miguel."
