"No matter what you're plotting, you'd better rein it all in when you're in front of me."
Aurek spoke slowly.
His voice wasn't loud, yet everyone in the great hall bent at the waist all at once.
Sherana's mind tightened.
"I don't have time to waste on trivial matters."
Aurek looked toward the hall's entrance. "Lucio. Philip."
"We heed Your Majesty's will!"
The two stepped forward.
"Hand the affairs of the Celestial Light God Realm over to others. You two will immediately begin preparations for the campaign into the Star Sea!"
"Every world you encounter on the march, every inch of territory—take it all into the empire's map."
Aurek delivered the decree.
The pupils of the powerhouses in the hall constricted sharply.
A campaign into the Star Sea?
Was he planning to confront the Divine Court head-on?
"As you wish!"
Lucio and Philip's blood surged with excitement.
