Over the years, after Kilian's rise, he frequently set traps for Monidez.
Monidez had always acted recklessly, straightforward in his thinking. When he was powerful, he could still hold an advantage over Kilian, but after their forces evened out, he no longer gained any benefits.
As Kilian's dominance grew, Monidez faced even greater suppression, unable to lift his head for years.
He had a fiery temperament. Listening to the rumors outside and watching those who once relied on him turn to Kilian one by one, his anger almost consumed him.
Only when he heard that Kilian's rise in these years was all thanks to "Paradise Island," and that the island was the mysterious one where Kilian's rumors had caused him the loss of three entire armed merchant ships and hundreds of loyal subordinates, did Monidez's resentment and anger finally burst.
But by then, Monidez was already full of white hair. His anger did not affect Kilian but instead put him in bed, and shortly after, he passed away.
