Chapter 300.1
As her rage turned into sadness, Alber couldn’t help but feel helpless. Who else could she blame but herself for trusting something she knew wasn’t even human? Even if she tried to blame him, she knew it wasn’t entirely his fault. She had given him power over her and there was no one else to blame but herself.

All it would do was reveal the true identity of the monster, and even that she wasn’t sure of. She had no idea what tricks he had up his sleeve.

She tried to figure out a way to right her wrongs. The truth was that there were a lot of ways to get rid of that monster who had tricked her, but not many that wouldn’t destroy the world. She was limited, there was only so much she could do.
She realized that if change needed to happen, it had to start from outside.
From outside.
