At first, when this strange girl appeared in the White Palace a week ago and declared that she was able to rid this kingdom of the plague, no one took her seriously. Later, when she brought the Pale King a contract according to which, if she defeated Radiance, she would get the status and territory of the Abyss, including all his creations, the ruler tensed, but did not believe it (however, he signed the contract). But when today she brought the bloody crown of Radiance and threw it at the feet of the Pale King, smilingly stating that it was now his turn to fulfill the terms of the contract, everyone was shocked, including the Pure Vessel that witnessed it. All his life, he had been trained to imprison the evil goddess, and now she had been defeated by them, a creature even more terrifying. The Vessel understands with its head that the father will not go against someone whom he can make an ally. But deep down in their hearts they whimper, praying to the Pale King even out loud, even if they remain unheard. "Father...I beg you, Father, give me a chance...I can be better. I can be useful..." But no one hears their pleas. And now they are the property of them, the Mistress of the Abyss. Humbly lowering his head, he followed her to the entrance to the Abyss. Already from here he could hear the whispers of emptiness below. Returned to where he got out. Ironically. His armor seemed to be squeezing his shell harder, making it difficult to breathe. And they noticed it.
