'It's him again, the son of destiny?'

Yumo surveyed the blood-soaked surroundings, the oppressive and gloomy atmosphere of the dungeon. Her aura grew colder:

"Why does he want to collect these gemstones?"

"Your Highness, he... he wants to gather these Soul Gems to... assist the Royal Knights in their breakthroughs and cultivate new talents... to make the snow night Empire even stronger in the future..."

"And..."

Yumo's gaze shifted toward the children imprisoned in the cages around them.

"What about them?"

"These children, some are from the previous rebellion of the southern nobles... and others were purchased from slave traders."

Marquis Cowport trembled uncontrollably, his voice quivering,

"Are the Soul Gems extracted from the children's bodies?"

Extracted?

Hearing this, Marquis Cowport frowned.
