According to the rules and following the usual procedure, after passing three trials, a contender had to go higher, moving to the top of the White Spire, which was a gray, slanted tower with a glass sphere at its top.
That was where a contender had to end up to receive the reward from the Silver Beacon.
Sure, Bertrada didn't want to do it, but she was obliged to follow the rules and had to give up most of her power as the winner and the territory where her physical form was located, that is, the Forgotten Mills.
Still, she did it if she couldn't prevent a contender from winning. This happened quite rarely, but Bertrada accepted even this outcome because even when she technically lost, she still retained complete control over the situation.
Now, she was losing her power. She could no longer control Adam. Even if it was just one Phantom, one contender acting according to rules she didn't know, it was enough to make her angry.
