"You dare?!" Althera shouted in a low, threatening tone.
Voltar may have been a machine—an artificial being, the very core of the library's array and its eternal guardian—but he was equipped with an exceptional level of intelligence and a superior analytical engine. It was absolutely impossible that he didn't realize exactly what he was doing.
"I apologize, Monarch Althera. Truly, I didn't mean to—"
"Hehe! I found your core! It's a living star core, isn't it?! No no no, this is absolutely incredible!" Robin's voice interrupted with gleeful fascination. "Was this array constructed by the Tyrant Galaxy of Interas?! This formation system… it must have cost more than a billion energy pearls—maybe even more!"

Both Althera and Voltar fell into silence, their eyes narrowing and focusing on Robin, who was, at that exact moment, attempting to inspect the back of Voltar's head and digging curiously through his metallic hair as if examining a rare artifact.
