Grand Lord Vladya stood fully attired, prepared to venture to the festival grounds.
He had been so engrossed in his duties, it was no surprise that he was running late.
As he stepped outside his abode, a deafening sound reveberated through the air—twice.

“Zaiper is never right, but about what specifically?” Lord Vladya queried.
“Killing the beast.” Lord Ottai drew a deep breath, his tone tinged with sorrow yet resolute. “We gamble with our people’s lives each day, Vladya.
