-1005- Go along with it to the end

When this extremely abrupt voice reached everyone's ears, the room was filled with a mist that dissipated.

The mist condensed, forming the figure of a beautiful Caucasian woman in the room.

Upon seeing this white woman, everyone present had an extreme reaction.

"Miss Liana...!?"

Kojou stood up in surprise.

"Sis... Sister...!"

Veldiana couldn't help but get excited.

The newcomer was the eldest daughter of the Caruana family, Veldiana's sister, Liana Caruana, who had collaborated with Akatsuki Gajou in the demon sanctuary in Gozo nearly three years ago to excavate No. 12 from the ruins.

"It's really you."

Rozen turned his head to look at Liana.

Clearly, Rozen had already noticed Liana's arrival and even recognized her, otherwise, he would have attacked before he sensed the mist of magic spreading.

"Long time no see, both of you."

After nearly three years, Rozen and Kojou had both grown into high school students about to enter high school, no longer just graduates from elementary school, and had grown a lot. In contrast, Liana had not changed at all. After glancing at Nagisa lying on the bed, her eyes flashed slightly, and then she nodded to Rozen and Kojou.

"Why is Miss Liana here?"

Kojou still exclaimed in surprise.

According to what Veldiana said, both she and her sister had been hunted by Nosferata. In the end, Liana handed the Holy Lance to Veldiana, asking her to come to Itogami Island, while she stayed behind to block the enemy and disappeared. Now appearing here suddenly, it was no wonder Kojou was surprised.

Liana smiled bitterly.

"Although I took many detours to escape Nosferata and even encountered dangers, I finally passed through the difficulties without incident and arrived at Itogami Island. Unfortunately, it seems that I arrived too late."

With that, Liana looked at Rozen.

"I wonder if I can ask you to spare my sister, Minamiya?"

Liana made a sincere request.

And this time, Rozen surprisingly nodded readily.

"With you here, I believe your ill-tempered sister won't act impulsively anymore. Consider it a chance encounter, and I'll give her to you."

After finishing speaking, Rozen snapped his fingers.

The chains on Veldiana immediately fell off, like flexible snakes, retracting into the sudden ripples of space.

"Sister!"

Veldiana, freed, immediately rushed to Liana's side, her eyes slightly moist.

"You've worked hard."

Liana gently patted Veldiana's head.

"It's okay, I'm also a daughter of the Caruana family."

Veldiana wiped her eyes and pretended to be strong.

Then, Veldiana gritted her teeth.

"I'm sorry, sister, but No. 12 has already..."

Before Veldiana could finish her words, Liana interrupted.

"I know, No. 12 has already been unsealed, and it's here now."

Liana nodded, informing Veldiana that she already knew the situation.

"So, you came here because of that, didn't you?"

Rozen smiled meaningfully, making the atmosphere slightly heavier.

Rozen's implication was simple: Liana came here not only for her sister but also for the Twelfth.

"If you want to try to snatch it by force, I'm not unwilling to accompany you."

Rozen spoke nonchalantly, leaving both sisters of the Caruana family dumbfounded.

Snatch it by force?

Perhaps that was something worth trying?

After all, disregarding Veldiana for the moment, Liana was a genuine old-generation pure-blooded vampire, much stronger than Veldiana. With Veldiana, dealing with a human seemed like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, effortless.

But now, even Veldiana didn't believe that she and her sister could forcibly take it in front of this young man.

The reason is simple.

"Even Balthazar Zaharias, who possesses the Kaleid Blood and can use Fourth Primogenitor-level Beast Vassals, cannot do anything to you. How could we dare to snatch forcefully?" Liana sighed and looked at Rozen.

"Just, since you're prepared to keep No. 12, can I assume that you intend to intervene in the Blazing Banquet?" Liana wanted to confirm this.

"If you don't want to intervene in the Blazing Banquet, then there's no reason for you to hold onto the matrices of the Fourth Primogenitor. Are you planning to hand the matrices over to the Management Cooperative of Itogami Island?" Liana inquired.

Rozen had actually thought about this question long ago.

"Let's not talk about whether I want to participate in the Blazing Banquet or not, but I indeed have no intention of handing over the twelfth Kaleid Blood." Rozen hesitated, "The Management Cooperative of Itogami Island is not a benevolent organization either. If I were to hand over the matrices to them, who knows if it might lead to some serious consequences."

This matter would be evident from the attitude of the Management Cooperative of Itogami Island this time.

Since the Lion King Agency was preparing to hold the Blazing Banquet on Itogami Island, then as the highest authority of Itogami Island, the Management Cooperative of Itogami Island could not be unaware of this.

The Lion King Agency was ultimately a national organization. It was unlikely for them to do whatever they wanted in the external territories of their own country. Therefore, the Management Cooperative of Itogami Island must be aware, and at least the decision-makers must be aware.

In the case of being informed, if the Management Cooperative of Itogami Island allowed the actions of the Lion King Agency, it proved that the Management Cooperative of Itogami Island also agreed to the holding of the Blazing Banquet.

In this way, it was unclear what would happen if the matrices were recklessly handed over to them.

Rozen didn't trust the Management Cooperative of Itogami Island.

Even Natsuki-nee didn't trust them.

As a pure-blooded witch, Natsuki-nee had once been regarded as an excellent tool by the Management Cooperative of Itogami Island. Natsuki-nee had also done many things to deal with them in order to protect Rozen against their actions, it was until she established the name of the Witch of the Void before the Management Cooperative of Itogami Island began to restrain themselves.

In such a situation, how could Rozen possibly hand over the matrices to the Management Cooperative of Itogami Island?

Even if Natsuki-nee knew, she might keep it secret, right?

In view of this, Rozen had no intention of handing over the foundation.

"But if you don't hand over the foundation, sooner or later, you will be drawn into the Blazing Banquet." Liana warned.

This was also a fact.

As long as the Blazing Banquet was destined to be held, and Rozen was unwilling to hand over the foundation, being drawn in was just a matter of time.

Rozen had known this for a long time.

But...

"With Nagisa like this, I don't think she has a way to stay out of it." Rozen said with a smirk.

This time, Liana's expression changed slightly.

Is that so?

"In that case, I can only go along with it to the end." This was Rozen's decision.

And this decision made Liana completely silent.
