Synopsis

The chapter opens with a sense of unease as characters discuss Ian Phage's potential schemes. The prince is then secretly spirited away from the palace by Oliver and the Second Palace Knights, who reveal their loyalty lies with the prince and not the current orders, intending to take him to the safety of Pierrics Territory. Meanwhile, the antagonists realize the prince's disappearance, and that he's likely headed towards Pierrics Territory, but choose instead to prioritize finding Vanessa Phage, deeming her Ian's 'weakness'.
