“Betrayal? I’m only trying to find a way to live because my master is going crazy,” Ofeq cawed like he was snorting.
The princess laughed in a low voice. “So, what do you think we should do about the watchman’s pupil next to the seed, crow?”
“Well, if you mess with the watchman’s pupil in the wrong way, your empire will be destroyed.”
“How scary.” The princess pretended to quiver.
With his wing, Ofeq pointed at Benhiram, who was kneeling. “But if it’s him, it will be fine.”
“Do you think so?” She lifted Benhiram’s chin with her finger. Her blue eyes lit as if pleased. “My precious dog has many uses.”
“I am honored.” Benhiram kissed the princess’ palm.
She asked, “Will you be all right if I decide on my own?”
“Yes, as you please,” he replied.
“The watchman’s pupil is that child. Even so?” she asked again.
“There’s nothing I put before your will,” he answered.
“How lovely you are.” She ran her finger down his neck from his chin. Her red nails that went down and scratched his neck stopped around his left shoulder. “You can probably do it, right? With the relic on this arm.”
Ofeq burst into laughter and said, “Hey, you must all be mistaken.”
“What?” she asked.
“Do you think the watchman’s pupil will be easy? She’s a dragon eye wizard,” Ofeq said.
“Didn’t you say that child is only 19?” she asked.
“You must be mistaken because you haven’t experienced wizards from the era of magic civilization, but she alone is more than enough to destroy a country,” Ofeq said.
“…Didn’t you say that girl didn’t even learn dragon eye magic?” she asked.
“Do you have a way to fight a wizard who raises a typhoon from a distant sky and an earthquake? You don’t even have a proper wizard, do you? Are you going to shoot an arrow? Would it even touch her?” The crow giggled as if it was too funny. “Do you know what’s worse? A dragon eye wizard can use dragon eye magic from birth. She didn’t learn it? That means she didn’t learn how to control her power. From the beginning, she was born a monster.”

“…”
“Even if you corner her with some kind of a trick, you will die the moment she realizes that she’s in danger. Every bit of surrounding mana will tear you to shreds,” Ofeq said.
The princess’ eyes turned cold. She asked in a low voice, “Then, what are you suggesting?”
“We need to fight a dragon eye wizard with a dragon eye wizard,” Ofeq suggested.
“The watchman? Didn’t you say he cares deeply about his pupil?” she asked.
“This is possible because he cares about her,” Ofeq said.
“I heard she is quite amenable to the watchman.”
“She trusts and follows him because she’s ignorant,” Ofeq replied.
“Hmmm?” she said.
“She’s an ordinary and kind child, someone who tries to save a sobbing child even though she can’t sacrifice herself for all people.”
“So, what do you want us to do, crow?” she asked.
Ofeq moved and sat on the princess’ shoulder, dropping his black feathers. There was a long whisper. The princess laughed. Benhiram only smiled, pretending that he did not hear anything even though he did.
“You wicked crow,” she said.
“Good luck. My life depends on how you do,” Ofeq said.
“Looking at you, the Wizard of the Horizon who has lived for a thousand years is also a human just like us since he raised a bird that bites its owner,” she said.
“Do you think anyone can deceive him? I’ve lived for a thousand years, you petty humans. Just don’t make a mistake. It’s all over if it goes wrong even slightly.”
“Don’t worry about that. We’ll be careful,” she said.
“Do your best. I will bring something that can be of help next time, too,” Ofeq sullenly said and soared. He went outside through the window that Benhiram opened. He soared high to the point that he looked like a dot in the bright blue sky. Returning to his original colorful feathers, Ofeq laughed, looking down at the Talasin castle, now small like a toy. “A familiar betraying its owner? There’s no way such a thing could be possible, fools.”
The bird went beyond space and returned to his nest. He sat on the gray egg and buried his beak in his wing.
