Apollo's Pov.
I expected things not to go according to my plan, and I was also prepared that chaos would happen; however, who would have thought I would see Alphonse, grandpa's older brother, here?
At first, I really thought he was an ordinary enemy I needed to gain information but I was wrong. The thought that he was familiar to me stems from the thought of his tainted mana, so at first I smiled in satisfaction; however, as I studied his mana even more, I found out who he was.
Grandpa's older brother and a man who must be killed according to the imperial law.
"Ugh!"
I groaned as I felt the bindings of the oath, it squeezed my heart as if telling me to obey the order given by the previous emperor. I steeled my mind and tried to gain control until the system forced the oath's bindings to weaken.
At that moment, I knew I must kill Alphonse to make the oath sleep; if not, I fear I might go crazy.
