"Baron Atreus... you said you wouldn't kill me... and you wanted to invite me to join you... what really motivated you...?" Countess Azalea asked quietly.
"King Bahamut, Countess. You seem to know about that," I replied firmly.
"King Bahamut…?! Y-you seriously want to unseal the strongest dragon on this land…?!"
"Yes, I'm serious, Countess Azalea."
Countess Azalea's breath hitched, then she revealed the strange horns on her head.
"Don't you know about the Curse of King Bahamut…? King Bahamut is incredibly powerful even after being sealed here, Baron Atreus…! These horns are his mark! You may not realize that these horns are a form of intervention by the curse of King Bahamut to make us wild and brutal!" Countess Azalea exclaimed hysterically.
"…as I suspected. From the moment those strange horns and red lines appeared, I knew it wasn't your magic, but a curse from another source, which is none other than the curse of King Bahamut," I replied calmly.
