Back at the palace, Zero sensed something was wrong.
The King warned him:
— "Your power frightens the people. Be careful."
That night, a masked assassin slipped into his room.
Zero's Domain reacted on its own, alerting him. He awoke and confronted the intruder.
— "You must die. For the balance," the assassin hissed.
A battle erupted. Zero activated his Domain again. The assassin struggled within it, confused and trapped.
With Lyria's help, Zero defeated the intruder.
— "This is just the beginning," the assassin whispered before vanishing in dust.
The King grew more cautious. The princesses stayed close.
Zero was now both weapon and target.
