The night was deep as ink.

The moment the four of them stepped into the forest, the air seemed to freeze around them. Beneath their boots, the thick carpet of fallen leaves was damp and soft, releasing faint crunches with every step. Tree shadows wove together under the moonlight like a thousand unseen eyes watching. The wind hissed through the branches, carrying with it a low, whispering murmur—like spirits speaking just beyond hearing.

This forest had always been shrouded in legend.

Some said it was the Grail’s resting place; others claimed it was land forsaken by the gods—where all who entered eventually lost themselves.

Edgar walked in front, his cloak rippling in the night breeze, strands of gray-white hair swaying with it. His pace was steady, unhurried, as though he knew this place well. Yet the others could feel it clearly—the further they went, the heavier the shadows pressed down upon them, as if the forest itself was closing in.

    “You know far less about the Holy Grail than I do,” Edgar said slowly, his tone calm and deliberate, yet carrying a weight that brooked no doubt. “The Grail does grant wishes—but when too many desires rise at once, it will choose. It decides whose wish to fulfill… and whose to erase.”He lifted his gaze, letting it drift over them one by one. The faint curve at his lips was neither a smile nor mockery—just something unreadable.“So in the end,” he said softly, “it comes down to whose will burns stronger, whose heart rings truer.”“So you mean you’ve already won?” Eryx sneered, his voice edged with steel. “You know the most, you’ve planned the best, and you’re the only one who understands the ritual. You expect us to believe you’re giving us a fair chance?”Candlelight glimmered against his face, catching in the cold gleam of his eyes.But Edgar didn’t bristle. He merely narrowed his eyes slightly, not in anger but in calculation—like a player already several moves ahead in a game of c

    “I don’t know what happened between you,” Alia said, her voice cold and steady, carrying a faint tremor she tried to suppress. “Nor do I know why we’re here. I only know this—my husband is hurt, and I need to take care of him.”She paused, then lifted her gaze toward Edgar. Her tone softened, but the words pricked like fine needles—calm on the surface, edged with quiet defiance.“I didn’t expect to see you here… Father.”The air froze.Firelight flickered in her eyes, unable to hide that glint of steel. She was lying—she knew exactly why she had come, knew that everything before her had long been nudged toward this moment by some unseen hand of fate. Yet she still wore that mask of innocence, using composure to drown the storm within.She didn’t know why—perhaps it was because of that fragment, or the strange gravity it carried—but she could feel Livia’s emotions pulsing through her: that torn sense of loyalty, that chaotic love, that impossible distance between daughter and father.F

    He was still dressed in his signature black formal coat, silver hair meticulously combed, his expression calm and unwavering.Time had carved deep lines across his face, but none of it could dull the aura he carried—the quiet, immovable weight of power. It wasn’t the kind of presence that oppressed, but rather one steeped in tragedy and resolve, a solemn majesty born of loss.Eryx was the first to step forward, his voice low but edged with anger.“So it was all you, then? Every move, every death—part of your grand design? You even wagered our lives? You truly are a fine ruler, Edgar.”Edgar lifted his gaze, unflinching. “I only guided fate to where it was meant to go.”Eryx’s jaw tightened, and he took another step, fists clenching at his sides.“Fate? Don’t you dare blame this on fate, Edgar! If it hadn’t been for your obsession with the Grail’s power, Celesta would still be alive! You speak of rebirth—but you couldn’t even protect one life!”For a moment, the air in the room froze s

    The night was thick as ink, the fog growing heavier by the minute. The air on the island had turned dense and frigid, as though a cold curtain had settled over every inch of ground. Wind swept across the water, carrying an eerie undertone—like a low, distant moan foretelling something ominous.Alia, Marcellus, and Eryx stood where they were, none of them moving first. The island was dead silent; even the waves seemed to hold their breath.The air pulsed with a restrained yet lethal tension—as if several bows had been drawn tight, each waiting for the other to release.Suddenly, the wooden door of the house creaked open with a long, sharp squeak.The sound sliced through the stillness like a blade. A faint light spilled from within, and a figure slowly stepped out.It was an elderly gentleman, his hair silver-white, dressed immaculately in a charcoal-gray suit. His collar was crisp, his posture upright, and a black ebony cane rested in his gloved hand. The lamplight cast fractured shad

    Alia’s breath caught for an instant, trembling faintly in her chest. Her fingers quivered, and when she raised her head, her gaze locked with Eryx’s—moonlight glinting in her pupils like frozen shards of ice.“My father’s sin should not be redeemed by another,” she said quietly, “nor should it be carried on by you.”A brief silence fell among the three of them.Wind swept across the island, stirring gravel and dust; the waves crashed harder against the shore, as if the sea itself could sense the tension ready to erupt.Marcellus took a slow step forward and met Eryx’s eyes.“This game was doomed from the start,” he said, his tone so calm it was almost cold. “Whether it’s the Grail or the Shards, they’ll devour everything in the end. Eryx—turn back. This is your last chance.”Eryx tilted his head slightly, a faint smile curving his lips—one touched with loneliness and finality.“Turn back? No… I’ve gone too far.”He extended his hand. The black staff shimmered faintly in the moonlight,
