WHY DO I ALWAYS END UP IN JAIL? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET OUT OF HERE THIS TIME? DID MY MESSAGE EVEN REACH MOTHER? HEY! ARSINOE! FOOD TIME! OW, MY EARS! YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT. I CAN HEAR YOU! WEREN'T YOU DRAGGED IN HERE LAST TIME FOR SMUGGLING...? OR FOR BEING A STOWAWAY OR SOMETHING... SO WHAT'S IT THIS TIME? SMUGGLING? PLEASE. I JUST HELPED SOME REFUGEES. WHAT? YOU HELPED THIEVES? THEY'RE NOT THIEVES, THEY'RE REFUGEES! LYCAN REFUGEES. AND I GOT PAID! SO? WAS THE MONEY GOOD? WELL... IT WASN'T LIKE I DID IT FOR THE COMPENSATION... HELPING LYCANS, OF ALL THINGS. THOSE MUTTS WERE BORN TO SUFFER... THEY'RE JUST CRAMMED INTO THE EMPIRE AND WORKED TO DEATH! THEY'RE PERSECUTED NONSTOP. HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO LIVE THERE? IF IT WERE ME, I'D WANT TO FLEE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY TOO. SHIPS CARRYING LYCANS WHO ESCAPED THE EMPIRE... ...OFTEN DRIFT HERE TO PHOMNOS. THE PROBLEM IS, THE LAPI RULE THIS LAND. LAPI: AN AVIAN BEASTKIN SPECIES PHOMNOS, OF ALL PLACES? WE'RE DOOMED. THE LAPI CONSIDER LYCANS THEIR MORTAL ENEMIES. MOMMY... I'M SCARED... SEEING THEM DESPERATELY TRY TO ESCAPE AND FIND A NEW LIFE... ...FELT JUST LIKE WATCHING MY MOTHER AND ME. IT'S A SIN FOR THOSE LYCANS TO EVEN BE BORN! THEY'RE MONSTERS WE SHOULDN'T EVEN WASTE OUR TIME ON! WHAT? THAT'S HARSH. YOU'RE AWFULLY SHARP-TONGUED TODAY. OH? DID YOU FORGET WHERE YOU ARE? MY POINT IS, IF I HELP THE LYCANS GET TO ANOTHER COUNTRY, ISN'T THAT GOOD FOR EVERYONE? IT'S AN ACT OF PEACE. PEACE, MY FOOT. SMUGGLING IS ILLEGAL, HUMAN BRAT. I KNOW THAT! I WAS PLANNING TO LIE LOW UNTIL THE KING DIED, BUT... AFTER HELPING ONE, THEN ANOTHER, I WOUND UP BECOMING A KIND OF BENEFACTOR TO LYCAN ASYLUM SEEKERS. MAYBE IT'S TIME TO MOVE AGAIN. YOUR GUARANTOR IS SUPPOSED TO ARRIVE SOON, SO DON'T COME BACK HERE AGAIN! MY GUARANTOR? I'M SORRY, WHO...? DON'T TELL ME... HAH, THAT WAS QUICK. IT'S BEEN A WHILE, YOUR HIGHNESS. HAVE A SEAT. MOTHER'S PROBABLY AT THE NURSERY. SHE LOOKS AFTER LAPI CHILDREN THERE. YOU DIDN'T COME ALL THE WAY TO PHOMNOS JUST BECAUSE OF ME, DID YOU? IT'S A RELIEF TO SEE YOU'RE SAFE. SO HE REALLY DID COME BECAUSE OF ME. I TOLD THEM OVER AND OVER YOU WEREN'T MY GUARDIAN, BUT THEY JUST WOULDN'T LISTEN. I SUSPECTED THIS FROM THE MOMENT I SIGNED AS YOUR GUARANTOR A YEAR AGO. I WAS DESPERATE BACK THEN. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME BEING LABELED A CRIMINAL AND ALL. I HEARD THE ROYAL ARMY WAS STATIONED IN PHOMNOS, SO I ASKED THEM TO SEND ANYONE THEY COULD... AND OF ALL PEOPLE, IT WAS WALTER HEIBERGH WHO SHOWED UP. YOU'RE STILL HELPING LYCANS, IT SEEMS. WELL, THINGS JUST SORT OF HAPPENED. IT'S NOT SOMETHING I SET OUT TO DO. THEY HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO, SO THEY COME ASKING FOR HELP. YOU SAID THE SAME THING LAST TIME. DO YOU REMEMBER? D-DID I? HOW. EMBARRASSING... I KEEP SHOWING HIM NOTHING BUT MY WORST SIDES! SO TELL ME ABOUT THE PALACE... ANYTHING NEW? HARD TO SAY. I HEAR DAUPHINE AND ANTEVASILLA ARE PREPARING FOR WAR. I'M WORRIED PHARNAS MIGHT GET CAUGHT UP IN IT TOO. YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE COUNTRY? I MAY BE STUCK IN PHOMNOS FOR NOW, BUT I'M STILL A CITIZEN OF PHARNAS. ?? HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT RETURNING TO PHARNAS? WHAT? HIS MAJESTY PASSED AWAY TEN DAYS AGO. ALREADY? NOT TWO YEARS FROM NOW? ABOUT HALF A YEAR AGO, A STRANGE ILLNESS BEGAN SPREADING AMONG THE UPPER RANKS. HIS MAJESTY, THE CROWN PRINCE, AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER PRINCES AND PRINCESSES, HAVE DIED FROM IT. THAT IS WHY, PRINCESS, IF YOU ACCEPT, WE WISH TO ENTHRONE YOU AS THE 19TH MONARCH OF PHARNAS. ...! BRR, IT'S COLD. WHAT TIME IS IT? ...? ISN’T HE COLD? IS HE A MONSTER OR SOMETHING? THE KING IS DEAD. THE WHOLE ROYAL FAMILY IS GONE. I KNEW WHAT COULD BE DONE TO HURRY THINGS ALONG, SO I TOOK A FEW MEASURES BEFORE COMING TO PHOMNOS, BUT... I DIDN'T EXPECT THEM TO DIE THIS SOON. ORIGINALLY, I PLANNED TO CLAIM THE THRONE THREE YEARS FROM NOW. BY THEN, PHARNAS WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN WEAKENED BY THE THREE-NATION WAR. AT THAT TIME, I WOULD WIN WALTER OVER AND TAKE THE THRONE, BUT THE ILLNESS’S UNPREDICTABILITY RUINED EVERYTHING. NO... I THINK I'VE STILL MANAGED TO GET HIM ON MY SIDE. AM I MEANT TO BE HAPPY ABOUT IT, OR NOT? YOU'RE AWAKE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP AT THIS HOUR? YOU'RE LOW ON FIREWOOD, SO I WAS CHOPPING SOME FOR YOU. THE AXE IS OVER THERE. I KNOW. OH, OKAY. IF YOU STAY LIKE THAT, YOU'LL CATCH A COLD. I'VE TRAINED IN FAR COLDER PLACES. DON'T WORRY. THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS GETTING AT. YOU REALLY CAN'T TAKE A SUBTLE HINT, CAN YOU? COULD YOU PUT SOME CLOTHES ON? I NEED TO TALK TO YOU. IT'S IMPORTANT. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Dawn of Vengeance #5](/series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6/chapter-5-m2p3sc) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
