238,

"Daniel? What are you doing here?"

Allen King was also surprised by Daniel's appearance, which proved that Daniel's arrival had exceeded the original plan.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, the plan needs to be changed."

Without answering, Allen King thought for a moment before speaking.

"Go ahead."

Without sitting down, with the impending battle, Allen's emotions were restless at the moment.

"Cyclone... Cyclone Theodore, has been captured in Seven Sins City."

"Huh? That kid was captured too?"

"I heard that after killing Greed, he encountered the witch."

"What? He killed Greed?!"

"Yes."

Daniel hesitated in his response, and after a moment of contemplation, Allen King asked.

"You say the plan needs to be changed? What do you want to change, Daniel."

Allen King gestured for Daniel to stand up, but Daniel ignored it and continued to kneel.

"Your Majesty... the war is already over, the demons have chosen to escape to the Western Sea. Next, let the North and South armies pursue them to Seven Sins City. The demons will never appear on this continent again... So... all that's left is Your Majesty's hatred for Arrogance."

In an instant, Allen King's expression became serious.

He didn't ask any more questions, only waiting for Daniel to state the most important point.

"For this revenge, I cannot let Your Majesty go."

"Reason?"

"Because Cyclone Theodore very likely will expose Your Majesty's location to Arrogance."

"Are you saying Cyclone will betray us?"

"Yes."

The war was approaching its end, the demons who chose to escape to the Western Sea had already put an end to this demon extermination battle.

But Arrogance was different, no one could understand what this person was thinking.

The only thing that can be guessed is that Allen King's presence would become his entertainment.

As long as Allen King was still on this battlefield, Arrogance would not escape.

Using disappearance as a shackle, forcing Arrogance to stay in Seven Sins City in order to confront Allen King who had disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, using deceptive guerrilla warfare to make him believe that the weakness of Allen's army was their leadership.

Finally, attacking from three directions to kill Arrogance.

Of course, the most terrifying aspect of this design was the guerrilla tactics that cut through the chaos, making Arrogance focus on the missing king.

"It has been three years, Mikoni is no longer here. I didn't expect that in the end, Daniel, you still couldn't trust your friend."

Allen King said meaningfully.

"No, Your Majesty, Cyclone... Cyclone is already my friend."

Daniel sincerely replied.

"But because of this, I understand him. He is someone who can do anything to survive. Just like now... Your Majesty! Please evacuate!!"

At this moment, Daniel finally stood up.

"If we appear in front of Seven Sins City now, it's highly likely that Arrogance's ambush is already there!"

"Daniel...do you know why I gave Cyclone that name?"

"..."

Allen's counter-question left Daniel unable to answer for a moment.

Allen's hero, that was the title Allen the King was referring to, and Daniel knew what it represented.

Once upon a time, Daniel witnessed his friend embodying the meaning behind that name.

Facing Daniel's silence, King Allen picked up his white scepter, walked past Daniel, and headed towards the exit of the tent.

"It seems that this time, I, the King, have won in judging people."

"We made it! Seven Sins City is in sight!!!"

Upon hearing the shouts from outside the tent, King Allen let out a gentle laugh.

"Cyclone will never betray me. I am confident in this. I bestowed him the title of Allen's hero because...he deserves it."

Walking towards the joyful voices outside, the final battle was about to begin.

Meanwhile, Cyclone, who was just bowing repeatedly a moment ago, had already stood up and addressed Yuna's father.

"I swear in the name of Allen's hero that if you marry Yuna to me, I will reveal King Allen's location to you."

With a sly smile, Cyclone's words silenced everyone.

Until Arrogance took a step forward.

"Hahaha~ How interesting~ I didn't expect such an interesting development till now~"

With joy, he approached Cyclone.

"But I refuse."

"W-What?"

"Allen's hero...do you think you still have the right to negotiate?"

Arrogance raised his hand, and a green light flashed.

"It's useless, Arrogance."

Suddenly, a heavy blow landed on the back of Cyclone's head.

The world shook, and Cyclone spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Yuna, who had attacked him from behind.

"Why is it useless?"

No one paid attention to Cyclone. Arrogance simply curiously asked Yuna.

And Cyclone fell to the ground. Before losing consciousness, the last thing he heard was Yuna's words.

"Because...he is working with Mikoni."
