[Bonus chapter]Never waste an opportunity

I haven't seen Adelphium these last few days, so when the news arrive I'm not even too surprised. He must have been busy trying to prevent the execution of a hundred innocent people.

And he failed since the messenger says the King is invited to witness the event. He bows his head before leaving the room, and I turn my head to Ignis.

«I was invited. You're the Saint, so it's actually a surprise they delivered the message to me and not you.»

«I don't like it. They used less time than we thought... When did they even collect ninety-nine Mages?»

«My spies say there are ninety-eight,» Ignis mutters, bowing closer to me and whispering in my ear. «Unless the last one was caught today, they don't have them yet.»
