Path of the Extra Chapter 396

Lumine and Yelena remained in the estate, watching fireworks while haunted by Prince Caleus's brutal murder of a man at dinner, their mood too somber for the festival. Two critical system quests activated: one urging Lumine to forge alliances and earn respect from numerous royals and nobles, befriend Princess Jasmine, and avoid enmity with figures like Caleus, Celestina, and Jegudiel; the other demanding he confront Prince Lioren and halt Caleus's killings within 17 hours. Lumine wrestled with the quests' escalating demands and peculiarities, notably the omission of Azriel.
