Chapter 697 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 697

Encrid contemplates the suspicious gathering of monsters near Zaun, sensing an artificial intervention behind the scenes. He reflects on a past conversation with Rem regarding Rem's violent reaction to amateurish sorcery, noting that Rem views poorly executed magic as an insult to the craft. While resting in the training ground, Encrid is approached by Grida, who is feeling unsettled by the lack of reaction from her family after she deliberately left traces of her presence over the last three days. Alexandra joins them, and Encrid observes the approaching Blackstorm Cloud, which threatens to bring a severe storm. As the sky darkens, Encrid reflects on the different philosophies of the House of Zaun's leaders: Hescal, who seeks expansion and stability; Lynox, the 'Six-Handed Destroyer,' who prioritizes swordsmanship and romance over reality; and the head of the house, who is patient and resolute. Encrid also considers Alexandra's protective nature and the absence of Andante. When Encrid asks Alexandra why she doesn't interrogate Grida about her recent absence, Alexandra explains that Zaun respects the freedom of its adults. The chapter concludes as a young swordsman interrupts the conversation, driven by the fear of stagnating or falling ill, despite it being a designated Sabbath.
