Irene was placed on the ground by a caster dressed in a white robe. They are less than two hundred metres away from the Silverash's residence.
Mephisto pulls his cane and walks around a bit.
"This will be easier than I thought," Mephisto said with a slight smile, "if Encodias was here, there might have been some trouble. But our opponents are only two young ladies. You can kill them with your eyes closed"
He had intended to tell a lighter joke, but the people next to him did not laugh. They all wore masks and stood silently, like trees, in the shadows. Mephisto is a little bored as a result of this. Even though he is aware that this is also the reason why these people can be chosen as elite by Frostnova.
It's no surprise she warned him that if the Yeti Squadron was used as a pawn, Frostnova would never spare him.
However, he believes he did not use them as such. They simply had bad luck and met a god. Can anyone blame him for his poor command?
He clicks on his microphone with his finger and asks, "Faust, how is the situation?"
Soon, Faust's voice can be heard through the headset "As you might expect, our previous actions were conducted in complete secrecy. Nobody has been discovered. The same can be said for the people who live in that house; as far as I can tell, they haven't noticed anything."
"How many people are there in the vicinity of the two little princesses?"
"Most likely ten or more. There is one defender with them who is holding a black shield. "He was the one we met on the holy road," Faust says, "and he should be the strongest of them, as he appears to have a very strong high resistance to our spells."
"It is not surprising that people who grew up in the Arctic Territory of Karlan have a certain resistance to the attacks of the Yeti Squadron," Mephisto says faintly. We'll just have to live with it."
"I know... Hold on."
"What's the matter?" Mephisto inquires.
"The two little princesses of Silverash appear to be leaving."
"Leaving?" Mephisto asks, his brow furrowed, "Did they notice us?"
"They don't appear to be. One of them is holding flowers in their hand "
"And there is only one person with them, the one with the Black Shield," Faust reports.
"Holding flowers in her hands?" Smile, Mephisto "It's intriguing. I've heard of the Kjerag people's custom. They must worship their ancestors before or after leaving their hometown. The Silverash family appears to be no exception to this rule. I'm just surprised they're still doing it at this point."
"Then we still have to act according to the original plan?"
"The original plan? Obviously not," Mephisto casts a glance down at Irene at his feet. Irene's body is already covered in frost curses. A pounding and restless force seemed to be constantly surging in her body.
"This girl will blow up before she even has a chance to kill them both. We are unable to stick to the original plan. But that is no longer the case. The two little princesses appear to provide us with more options."
"I will follow your arrangements," Faust says quietly after a brief silence.
"Don't worry, my plan is absolutely brilliant," Mephisto murmurs faintly, "It's just that I intend to change our goal. We only need one of those two little princesses. Enciodas' heart is far from the ruthless facade he displays on the surface. When he finds out that one of his baby sisters is dead and the other is safe in our hands, he will obey any command we give him."
"..... How about our deal with Galvin?"
"Galvin? Who is that?" Mephisto asks light-heartedly, "He's just a fool. What can he bring us even if he assists us in defeating Encodias? Forget about it. He should perish with his family."
Faust is silent once more, this time for a longer period of time. "What should we do now?"
"It's quite simple, Tonight, we just need to get a princess and blame the saintess' death on the Aiben family," Mephisto says as he raises his head and looks at the slowly falling snowflakes.

Located at the base of the back mountain.
Cliffheart approaches Pramanix and says, "Onee-chan, wait for me!"
The saintess turns around. "You're too slow, Encia," She says helplessly to her sister.
"Ah, I haven't seen mother in a long time, so I brought her some gifts," Cliffheart explains. Then she shows the gift to Pramanix. It's catnip.
She's at a loss for words "How are you going to give this to her? Mother isn't going to like it."
"But Onee-chan and I enjoy them, so Mother will undoubtedly enjoy it as well."
Pramanix paused for a moment and concluded that what she said was reasonable, so she stopped asking. Instead, she turns her head and gazes around the corner at Cliffheart.
"Matterhorn, you don't have to follow me and Encia up there," Pramanix says, "Encia and I want to speak with my father and mother separately."
"Mistress, if everything is like usual, I don't want to disrupt your and your parents' reunion," Matterhorn says, "But with how dangerous our stay here had been, we can never be too sure on how safe we are now. The Aiben and Wilson families have the ability to attack both of you at any time."
"Do you still need to be concerned about this?" Pramanix asks, "And I am the saintess of Karlan, will the Aiben and Wilson families dare to do something to me?"
"I know," Matterhorn sighs, "But the safety of you and the young Miss is absolutely critical. We do not want to take this chance. This is what the master has specifically instructed me to do."
Pramanix can only agree with a nod, "Well if you say so."
"It's okay, Matterhorn isn't an outsider anyway," Cliffheart laughs happily.
Green, the housekeeper who brought Pramanix and Cliffheart over, finally bows and says, "Don't worry, Mistress and Young Miss; there is only one entrance from the SilverAsh's House to the back mountain. Even if the Aiben or Wilson families try to take advantage of the Mistresses, they will fail as long as we protect the residence."
Following these remarks, the three people feel more at ease, and they bid farewell to Green, the housekeeper, and proceed up the mountain.
Green watched the three figures slowly fade away down the mountain road, and the respectful expression faded.

Only Sussurro remains in the house at the end.
She is sitting alone at the table, eating a steak.
She was at a loss for what to do after she finished her meal.
She was thinking in her heart that if she had known, she would have gone to Lin Ye and Lappland. Sussurro can't find Lin Ye at this time because, as Matterhorn had previously stated, tonight is a more important night, and it is best not to go out if there is nothing special.
She can only sleep early tonight and return to Rhodes Island the next day. While thinking, the dining room door is pushed open, and the butler, Green, enters with a smile.
"Miss Sussurro," The butler, Green approaches Sussurro and smiles, "Is the dinner satisfactory?"
"The steak is delicious," Sussurro says politely.
Green nods and laughs as the butler say, "That's good. Since this is the case, could you please do me a favour?" He asks again.
Sussurro looks at Green, puzzled, and asks, "A favour?" She thinks the butler's expression was a little strange.
Then, in the next split second, she realised why.
The wall next to her shattered, and two men in guard uniforms flew in from outside the wall, bloodied, and fell to the ground.
Sussurro is terrified and jumps out of her chair, but before she can do anything, a large hand grabs her head and lifts her in the air.
"Oh!" Says the speaker.
Then, with a cane and a full smile, a white-haired man walks into the restaurant.
"Are you a Rhodes Island medical worker?" Mephisto asks Sussurro, who is still struggling.
He continues to say, "Don't be nervous, I just want you to do a little favour."
After he says this, he snaps his fingers, and a large man in a white robe appears, carrying a petite figure. Her entire body is covered in light blue lines. Sussurro has a feeling the girl is familiar.
"The medical staff on Rhodes Island should be well-versed in Oripathy." Mephisto declares, "As you can see, this woman is on the verge of exploding. I'd like to ask you to assist me in delaying that. Allow her to explode later, but only when I say so. I'm hoping it's powerful enough to cause a large enough explosion. At best, it'll be able to cover a small hill. Are you capable of doing so?"
Sussurro is silent; all she can do is stare at Mephisto as if he were a demon. Everyone in SilverAsh's household is under his control, and no one knows it. Mephisto dispatched the entire Yeti Squad to deal with the guards. It was too easy,

Faust swears outside, lying quietly on a large tree, watching the world go by.
For the time being, Mephisto's plan does not require him to take action. Just make sure no one gets too close.
But what Faust did not expect was that he, who believes he has excellent stealth abilities, would be apprehended.
Now he's staring at someone, and the next thing you know, that person's swords are engulfed in white flame. They slash at the tree where he was standing. Faust, sensing the danger, jumped from the tree, and the tree fell as soon as he landed. His vision is obscured by their sword.
After the snow has settled, Faust notices a white-haired figure staring at him.
