Eduard is in the throne room, contemplating many things. He is mulling over the recent events and is quite disturbed. His spies from Hapsberg brought him terrible news and also, another very interesting piece of information.
Roseanne was seen in Hapsberg with the Slorian Duke.
“So he is her buyer,” Eduard realizes and smirks. Stefan’s death coupled with Elthezar’s demise are all connected to the mysterious Duke of Sloria. As far as he knows, the kingdom of Sloria is isolated from the rest of the world because of its high mountains and the route which is seemingly impossible to cross.
“I must find that witch and bring her back,” he mutters. The powers of Veneer are too precious to give up and only a witch can unleash those powers. Once Eduard gains them, he will become invincible.
“I must manipulate the elders,” he decides.
The door to the throne room bursts open and Venus storms in. Eduard ignores his wife who seems to be angry.
