Both the left and right guardians stepped forward, exuding their energy.
"How dare you use an ability in front of the emperor!"

Evelyn also released her energy, ready for a full-blown clash.

Nathan, although surprised, noticed one important thing. Not planning to play dumb, Nathan asked, "Are you not going to stop them?"
"You—!" The left guardian's anger erupted. Nathan's words became casual, which could be seen as rudeness to the emperor.
Fortunately, the emperor raised his hand with a gentle smile on his face. "I guess I should. You were able to remain calm the whole time… It's amazing."
