Back in his room, Sno tore open the envelope with its exquisite wax seal and took out the letter inside—
"Dear Mr. Crown:"
"While carrying out a mission in Backlund, I drew the attention of Katarina, the Pale Saintess, and had a few conflicts with her. Thanks to the avatar you left behind, I managed to escape unscathed, but I could feel that she had already set her sights on me."
"I must admit that my own strength is not enough to deal with her. If possible, I hope to receive your assistance."
"Yours sincerely, Beauty."
"Tut tut, Trissy isn't being honest." Sno shook the letter in his hand, turning it into a handful of ash, though the corners of his mouth curled upward slightly. He knew perfectly well that Trissy's appearance would draw Katarina's attention, yet he had still sent Trissy out because he was certain Katarina would not do anything.
Trissy herself was not important. What mattered was the Primordial Demoness's ring, and that ring had already been recovered by the Sorceress Cult during Backlund's Great Smog.
Now that the Sorceress Cult and Qiao San were in a cooperative relationship, Katarina would certainly test Trissy with an attack as soon as they met. But once she got past that hurdle, Katarina would learn that Trissy was now Sno's subordinate and naturally would not act rashly—at least not before her cooperation with Qiao San ended.
After all, Sno's solo fight against the Eternal Blazing Sun's descended avatar was no secret in high-level circles. Katarina, a Sequence Three famous for lying low, would have to consider the consequences before making a move against Trissy.
Trissy writing this letter now was simply meant to put Katarina on guard. Well, perhaps it also carried a hint of showing off her progress.
