"Insanity... to actually plot poisoning the King and usurping the throne."
Night had fallen in Regent's Park Villa, where Fourth Prince Arthur was savoring a whiskey, his expression serene.
Seated across from him, Marvin said, "I've written to the head of the Fudo Kingdom Branch. It is a confidential letter exclusively for their eyes. The Great Prince should receive the Soul Elixir in a fortnight."
"So I have one and a half months left to prepare?"
Obtaining the Soul Elixir takes half a month, and the drug takes effect in a month. It seems long but is merely the blink of an eye.
"I don't think you need to prepare anything."
"Not prepare... Are you suggesting I simply hand over the throne?"
Arthur gently swirled his glass and suddenly asked, "In the eyes of the Goddess of Fate Church, am I truly important?"
"You maintain stability in the West Island, of course, you're important. I believe the Tri-Goddess Church would not hinder your ascent to the throne."
