Seth returned to his room and was getting ready to resume his tasks when a sudden notification caught his attention.
<Host. The innkeeper of the Hidden Page Inn has just passed the border of Oath, heading towards the capital of Endora.>
‘Huh? Only him? Did Cain fail?’
<Affirmative. Molly has been captured by Iris, who plans to use her as a shield against the host. Cain was also forced into inaction.>
Seth’s eyebrows rose in surprise, and he asked: ‘What about Elise?’
<Iris had figured out her weakness, and she had to use the king’s life as a token to form a sensible deal with her. Her situation is also precarious, and she doesn’t want to push Iris too far, so she cannot assist Cain.>
<I apologize for failing to inform the host of the situation, but everything was going fine before I lost access to the past records. The situation in Oath was no longer a priority, with all the kingdoms starting to move.>
‘It’s fine. Is Molly alright?’
