In the castle, Ciko Joun sat on The Zero's throne, surrounded by several spheres of red light.
In front of him stood Dontur, greeting him respectfully.
"Welcome back, my lord."
Ciko wanted to ask something, but he didn't want to reveal that he wasn't the real The Zero.
But suddenly, an idea popped into his mind—
he would talk about Lamia directly instead of asking something suspicious.
"Have you ever crossed paths with Lamia?"
Ciko asked as The Zero.
Dontur replied,
"The last time we crossed paths was before Lamia betrayed you."
Ciko Joun finally gathered his courage to ask further.
"Lamia has caused a lot of damage… do you know any important information about him?"
Dontur answered,
"Lamia is on the Criminal Path."
"And what kind of abilities does someone on the Criminal Path have?"
Dontur continued,
"Abilities within a single path can vary."
"But I do know Lamia's ability—kidnapping."
Ciko Joun tried to process that.
"Ann's lost vision must be connected to Lamia's kidnapping concept," Ciko thought.
Then—
Ciko Joun finally discovered the cause of Ann's vanished sight.
"Lamia must have kidnapped Ann's sense of vision."
That was the answer behind Lamia's power,
and the reason Ann had lost her sight.
