Chapter 21

Pages Count: 12

The Chapter opens with a flashback continuation of the first portion of Chapter 13, with Hydama's reaction right after The Jester left with Kuro in hand. That flashback ends with Althan narrating what The Jester did with Kuro after he left. He explains to Hydama that Kuro was trained to be an Imperial Guard and was assigned to guard Princess Aya for most of his service. He says afterwards that he sent him off on a mission a year ago and he's never return since. Hydama is suspicious of Althan's version of events and asks him if he's embellishing portions of the story. Althan responds that he doesn't owe anything else becasue the universal agreement has been fulfilled and tells him to leave. The chapter ends with the seed planted for the District Games Arc.
