Balibeil's attractiveness is not just talk. Compared to the slightly immature faces of the others present, Balibeil looks much more mature, albeit without any expression on her face, giving off a cold and distant vibe.

Balibeil genuinely doesn't have much fondness for anyone other than Green, or rather, not attacking them is already giving Green face.

But compared to Aloof and the others, Balibeil still prefers Green in her current state.

As a sword spirit, she has had a strong desire for killing since her birth. Although this desire has been tempered a little during her time with Green, it still remains strong.

Especially when facing girls with such high attractiveness, her desire intensifies.

And as for why, perhaps only her creator, Asura, can explain.

The battle proceeds as usual, with nothing new to mention. It's simply Green and Balibeil being overwhelmingly defeated, and even that broken sword in Green's hand is able to compete with Balibeil.

This not only astounds Green, but Balibeil herself as well.

This sword is truly extraordinary, but currently there are no signs of further evolution.

However, Green can sense the power within this sword.

The battle ends with Balibeil admitting defeat.

During lunchtime, a soldier finds Green and tells her that the thief they caught earlier in the morning has escaped. Before leaving, the thief introduced himself as Yuxihaishi, one of the Sinful Mages, and left behind an identification document.

The soldier hands the document to Green, who takes a look and finds that it is an identification card.

Whether it's fake or not is unclear, but those four characters, Yuxihaishi, are indeed written in the name column.

Although Green is not sure why a Sinful Mage would have an identification card... and this identification card is actually from the Farcist Kingdom, which means that Yuxihaishi was once a person of the Farcist Kingdom.

After receiving this news, Green goes to find Fred for confirmation. After briefly looking through some information, Fred personally meets with Yuxihaishi and finally confirms his identity.

Yes, this tall and seemingly harmless man is one of the Seven Sinful Mages, who used to be feared by all.

This means that there is only one Sinful Mage left who hasn't been arrested.

What makes Green curious, though, is why Yuxihaishi claims to be a Sinful Mage even though he has been captured. Has he gone mad?

He could have just stayed in jail for a while and then been released, but he managed to dig himself into a deeper hole.

When Green asks him about it, Yuxihaishi bites his lip, nearly on the verge of tears.

"To be honest... I... I... I wanted to turn myself in. I just... wanted to have some fun before turning myself in, but I didn't expect to run into a monster like you... sob..."

Yuxihaishi's pitiful appearance leaves Green speechless for a moment.

Fred then sternly looks at Yuxihaishi, his gaze becoming serious as he delivers his sentence.

"Although I'm not sure why you wanted to turn yourself in, don't think you can escape the death penalty by doing so. Besides, you didn't surrender yourself, you were brought in. Blame yourself for the senseless killings you carried out back then."

Fred coldly stares at Yuxihaishi. Despite his seemingly harmless appearance now, Fred, as the king, will never forget how Yuxihaishi massacred the children of nobles and his own wife overnight.

Although Fred understands that Yuxihaishi's strength may not be too strong, anyone capable of such heinous acts cannot be considered ordinary in Fred's eyes.

"You destroyed your own family and others', for you, the death penalty is inevitable. Since you have the resolve to turn yourself in, be prepared for the death penalty. Three days from now will be your execution."

Fred's tone is harsh as he speaks. Green listens quietly beside him, although she is not entirely clear on the details of the incident, she roughly knows that Yuxihaishi became a Sinful Mage not solely because of his terrifying strength.On the contrary, although his strength was top-notch in the former Farcist, he was theoretically the weakest in the Sinful Mage.

But just as Fred and Green were preparing to leave, Yuhai suddenly grabbed the iron railing and shouted hysterically, "Your Majesty!"

Four simple words, something Fred heard every day, but the emotion in his voice was exceptionally intense, causing the listener to instinctively stop.

"Death penalty is fine, but before I am executed, I want to see that minister one last time."

"That minister? Are you referring to the minister you persecuted?"

"...Yes."

Fred fell silent for a moment, his eyes meeting Yuhai's determined gaze, and he nodded as if possessed.

"Alright, but I can only give you one minute."

Fred then left the place where Yuhai was imprisoned, but Green did not leave with him. Instead, he approached Yuhai again.

The reason was simple: Yuhai's reaction earlier had piqued Green's interest.

Walking slowly to Yuhai's front, the two were separated by an iron railing.

Yuhai looked up and saw Green, who had captured him this morning.

He spoke in a half-dead tone, "It's you. What do you want?"

Green didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "I'm curious why you want to see a minister of this kingdom before you die. Also, I've noticed that you are completely different from the other Sinful Mages I've encountered. Except for Kilger, you don't possess the strong hostility that other Sinful Mages have."

"..."

Upon hearing Green's words, Yuhai's body trembled slightly. Memories of the past flashed through his mind, and then he laughed self-deprecatingly.

"If that's what you think, then you're completely wrong."

"Why?"

"...There's no harm in telling you."

After hesitating for a moment, Yuhai let out a sigh and began to narrate the catalyst for him becoming a Sinful Mage.

Yuhai spoke quickly and straightforwardly, without any nonsense, so it didn't take long to recount the general process of the event.

There might be some lies, but after listening, Green nodded thoughtfully and then left.

After leaving, Green didn't continue to dwell on Yuhai's matter but instead thought about the last Sinful Mage.

Green was curious about who the last Sinful Mage would be and in what circumstances they would appear before him, or if they would die before Green could even intervene.

"Come to think of it, there's something I haven't done yet."

Green suddenly remembered something and stood still, gazing into the distance, looking at a place invisible to ordinary people.

Green planned to go to the snowy continent he had visited before, because Rom had briefly mentioned the destination in the invitation he received, which was the southern snowy continent.

Originally, Green intended to inform Aloof and the others and then go alone to see if there was anything peculiar. However, after searching for them, he couldn't find them anywhere. Finally, he released his perception and discovered that they were gathered at the entrance of the castle for some reason.

When Green arrived at the castle gate, he saw Tia boarding a carriage, seemingly preparing to leave. Not only that, there were many guards nearby keeping watch.

Green approached quickly and asked in confusion, "What's happening? Are you leaving? Weren't you saying before that you wanted to stay here for a few more days?"

Facing Green's three consecutive questions, Tia did not express any dissatisfaction this time. She just looked at Green with an extremely complicated gaze, then retreated into the carriage and said to the coachman, "Let's go, it's time to hit the road."

"Understood."

With that, driven by the coachman, the carriage began to move slowly.

This sudden scene left Green full of question marks. He had only been away for a short while with Fred, so how did Tia suddenly have such a melancholic expression upon his return, and she didn't even acknowledge him?However, Green also noticed the badges on the soldiers' uniforms, which belonged to the Caesar Empire. It seemed that people from the Caesar Empire had come to take her back.

In theory, it shouldn't be a big deal, but for some reason, Tia's emotions seemed off to Green. However, Green didn't think much of it. Coincidentally, Aloof and the others were also present, so Green asked them about what had happened after a series of inquiries, finally understanding what had happened in just a short half hour.

"So, does this mean Tia won't come to Farcist anymore?"

"It seems that way. After all, the Emperor of the Caesar Empire is known for being strict. I'm afraid Tia won't be able to go out freely until she satisfies the Emperor of Caesar."

Aloof recalled the Caesar Empire's behavior on the international stage and analyzed it in this way.

A short while ago, messengers from the Caesar Empire suddenly found Tia, bringing with them orders from the Emperor Caesar. This made everyone realize that it was obvious that the Emperor Caesar wanted Tia to return to the country. After all, it had been so many days since the fall of Kilg. Even if Tia wanted to stay here, she would not be able to resist her father.

Moreover, this was someone else's business, so Aloof and the others had no reason to intervene, even though Tia seemed reluctant.

The only thing that puzzled Green was why Tia didn't even acknowledge him when she saw him. Based on experience, there was probably something bothering her.

"Sigh, women's hearts are really hard to figure out."

"Do you think so?"

Green shrugged, looking helpless.

In reality, Green's guess was likely correct. The reason Tia acted this way was largely because she knew what kind of result she would face when she returned.

In fact, even before, when Green rejected becoming Tia's fiancé, Caesar had already started looking for a new fiancé for her, even if Tia herself strongly objected.

But stubborn Caesar still believed that he had to find a powerful man to be his son-in-law, especially after witnessing Green's strength.

The reason Tia wanted to stay here for a few more days was actually quite simple. Her father, Caesar, had already found candidates for her future fiancé.

These candidates were all excellent in terms of identity, talent, character, and even appearance.

But Tia didn't want to choose from among them, so she used the excuse of hunting down the Sinful Mage to temporarily leave the Caesar Empire. However, she knew she would eventually have to face this matter.

In nature, this was her own family matter, so it was not Green's place to get involved.

It was precisely because she didn't want to involve Green, fearing that he would be in trouble or that other situations would arise, that Tia forcibly suppressed her impulse to rush into Green's arms.

But Tia also understood that relying solely on others was not possible, and one day she would have to rely on herself.

During these days, she had been harassing Green, although her strength may not have noticeably improved. But Tia believed that as long as she continued to work hard, continued to strive, she would... she would...

"Sob... I can never be a match for my father, the king..."

Just thinking about Caesar's terrifying strength, Tia shed tears of helplessness.
