“I heard later that there was some trouble at the Shahnaz camp,” Eshnuna said monotonously. She explained that there were originally two candidates for Shahnaz’s succession: Shahnaz Hawa and her older sister Shahnaz Hayi. However, a couple of days before the D-Day, they heard reports that Hayi had suddenly deserted the camp, and the Shahnaz camp couldn’t find her anywhere.

“I mean, it’s understandable how angry she must have felt. Not only was her position stolen by Hawa, but she had to also become a sacrifice in a ceremony that her sister performed.”

“Are you saying…that Ms. Hawa’s sister had brought the broken beings to commit revenge?”

“That’s probably what happened.” Eshnunna stared at the empty space before her. “The day before the attack, the only ones who knew of the plan were the recruits, me, and a couple of people from the Shahnaz camp.” And yet the broken beings had ambushed the recruits the day before the D-Day.

“Of course, Hayi could have simply failed to understand Shakira and run away. But whatever her intention was, there’s a high possibility that she was connected to the first arrival of the broken beings.”

Chi-Woo fumbled through his memories.
