The Twelve Kingdoms: Shirogane no oka, Kuro no tsuki 3 (Junikokuki / Shincho Bunko)

[Machine Translation] The decision of the new king, Jinsyo - the Hornless Kirin is made. Yi Sai arrives at the village where the Arabs have sheltered the injured man. However, the man with white hair and red eyes was already dead. Was his pride in being a vassal of the leader of the veteran sect, the pride that had sustained him, destroyed? Taiki, who has left Yi Sai's service, asks Asen about the true reason for sending the king away in the royal palace, where a puppet wanders around, sickened by a demon. What is the profound and deep-rooted intrigue of the "Qilin," who can hardly be called a benevolent creature any longer?
