Carlos felt at ease as the next day after he'd risen from the blank night, he'd finally got to hear Ruel.
It was early in the morning and the daylight hadn't even broken from the eastern horizon that Carlos woke up to Ruel's voice.
Carlos was disoriented for a while, despite Ocean's warning, Carlos had removed the pendant and placed it on the bedside table just so that Ruel could come back and they could talk about what happened the other night.
He was so anxious about it that he kept zoning out even during his meals with Nyx.
"I've made a deal with Ocean Ryujin," Ruel said.
Carlos felt his throat going dry, making a deal with that man...
"What kind of a deal?" Carlos asked.
"You don't get it, son. The one who will take the throne was long decided and you are only a pawn. If I don't make sure you're alive, everything is done." Ruel said and Carlos felt a chill run down his spine.
