Synopsis

The chapter opens with the reveal of the main antagonist, Faschio, a skilled assassin who has captured Vino. Faschio engages Asuka, Andrew, and James, boasting about his power and offering a twisted deal: they can survive if they betray a non-noble among them. Refusing to betray their comrade, the three prepare to fight, but Faschio's stealth and speed make it difficult for them to defend and coordinate their efforts. James is quickly targeted, leaving the group struggling to keep up.
