Rose finally finds Prince Konan, the target of her revenge, but he has already turned into a hellion. Her attacks against him are useless and he counters with a power that is beyond human. When Dezel comes to her assistance, the tower inside which they are fighting suddenly collapses. Sorey rescues them, but Rose is distraught that Konan is nowhere to be seen and that she did not “finish him completely.” Sorey tells Rose he disapproves of her being an assassin, to which she replies, “There are guys in this world who must be killed.” And Sorey goes on to explain about “Malevolence.”
