�Ugh!�

The knights and alchemists around Sir Bernard curled forward as they groaned.

�S, Sir Bernard?�

�Why, why would you do this to me?�

Hannah could see the eyes of the people around Sir Bernard start to become dyed black. Even the old man wearing the Tower Master�s robe suffered the same fate.

��Master-�

Bernard patted the head of his disciple who had been a puppet Tower Master.

�A puppet will always be a puppet. It is good to be used for the benefit of my liege�s world.�

Shouts started to be heard from multiple places.

�Gasp!�

�Aaaaaah!�

All of the knights around the capital who were wearing armor with the royal crest groaned as their eyes became dyed black.

They then started to move with stoic expressions on their faces.

The knights with black pupils gathered behind Bernard. They were moving like dolls as they got in formation behind Bernard.

�T, the palace-!�

The citizens pointed toward the palace door.

They could see it through the open door.

Many people with eyes dyed black were heading toward the plaza with weapons in their hands.

The Empire�s knights.

The Empire�s nobles and their knights.

Alchemists and mages.

They were the leaders who had escaped from the Whipper Kingdom battle, their subordinates, as well as the royal family�s forces. They all had black eyes as they charged toward the citizens.

�Control, they are being controlled. This is black magic.�

Saint Jack, whose instincts told him what was going on, started to shake. JrNovels.com
