Keeping the kirin around with a sealed horn to lend legitimacy to the pretender was the strategy used in Shadow of the Moon, although Asen apparently intended to prevent Taiki from returning to his kirin form, along with denying him the use of his shirei, the assumption being that he could control a small child.
But that was not the Taiki he ended up with.
thank you
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
ReplyDeleteWow, I almost feel sorry for Asen in this chapter. I wonder what motivates Rousan. Curiosity? Sadism?
Rousan reminds me of Q from Star Trek, toying with people and events just to see what happens next.
ReplyDeleteIt feels like she is running an experiment in practical theology.
