"If the emperor is truly attempting such a thing, then I have to…" said the man, seeming worried. Arthur started thinking as well because things made less sense now. Why did he stumble on the man who made the emperor's plan possible just so easily? 

It was hard to think that this man, whose lack of hair made his face look even more ordinary and unremarkable, was the secret weapon that the emperor had. However, why would a treasure like this man be handed to no other than a traitor, Zonas Mantra?

Arthur had a bad feeling about this. The emperor was cunning, so he would have foreseen that Arthur would strike where it hurt. Thus, the most obvious choice was hiding what he treasures, which made his plans see-through.

The cunning move was to set up a trap in this prison and wait for Arthur to enter this place to entrap him here. The possibilities to win were endless, and Arthur was sure this was a trap.
