[Aiden's POV]
As I sat to start the breathing method to match the mana supply needed, my own mana reserves were almost emptied out. So it would be useful if any unprecedented situation occurred.
However, as I tried to clear my mind to concentrate. The image of Seraphine falling, the system panel warning about her possible death, and the punch taken from the leader.
These images plagued my mind, stopping me from achieving the concentration needed. My thoughts started churning; why did this happen? Is it just a coincidence of traveling the ocean or my passiveness to act first?
Had I acted against my nature toward Nathan, maybe this type of rumor wouldn't spread?
At this moment, I started questioning all my decisions, especially after I got the system. Have I truly not changed yet? I had already resolved myself to killing; that was unavoidable if I wanted to establish my rule. So where was I lacking?
