– Frey Starlight's POV –
Aegon Valerion...
The prince had surpassed my expectations by miles. Though I thought I knew him, what he revealed just now proved the extent of my ignorance.
Dragoth, the human-demon… a monster of SS+ rank, nothing but a mere plaything in his hands.
He had forged his own demonic contract, twisted Dragoth's power into his own, exploiting the Empire, and even exploiting me to finish the job of killing him.
What happened didn't just grant Aegon the strength he sought—it also gave him the means to spy on the Ultras in a way no one would ever suspect.
The prince before me, though lacking in raw might, had proven himself a master of long-reaching manipulation… capable of weaving schemes whose effects spanned years. Even now, cornered here with only me and Snow, he stood there utterly calm, as though the situation meant nothing to him.
"'Aegon Valerion is an unpredictable variable… a schemer on the same tier as the Engineer himself…'
