Lyris took longer than usual to answer.Not because she had no answer, but because she had only just finished processing an amount of information that was too overwhelming to arrive all at once, and she needed one more second to make sure that what came out of her mouth was a decision rather than a reaction."Keep an eye on him." Her voice carried the composed layer she had deliberately chosen to put back in place. "I'm certain he won't dare touch us after this. He's seen for himself that there are things he cannot touch when they're on our side."Her gaze never left Lein."But I also know he won't give up that easily. Carath isn't someone who accepts defeat quietly. He'll find another way, and I need to know what he chooses before that plan has fully taken shape."She turned to Miran."That's your task."Miran nodded. Once, firmly, like someone who had already accepted the order and begun figuring out how to carry it out before the nod had even finished."As Your Highness wishes."Me

Lein descended.Not like someone landing after a long flight. There was no moment of adjustment, no step needed to find his balance. His feet touched the ground of the courtyard in front of Lyris's wing the same way someone would step down from one stair to the next.Behind him, the four Auranveil corpses descended at the same time, one after another leaving the sky until all four were arranged neatly across the courtyard.Two spiritual stones floated between them, their light still shifting within their surfaces, gold and rainbow hues constantly changing.The door to Lyris's wing opened.Lyris came out first, followed by Miran, then the three officials, then the soldiers and servants, with Ryn and Sael among them. They all emerged in a manner that showed they had seen the four silhouettes from inside long before Lein landed and had already prepared themselves for the worst possible outcome.What they found, however, was not the worst possible outcome.But it was not something easier

The window on the western side of the room overlooked the sky at a wide enough angle, and the daylight that usually poured through it suddenly changed.It did not go dark, but dimmed in a way that could only happen when something enormous passed between the sun and the window.Bravan turned.The elderly official before him turned as well.Outside the window, four silhouettes hovered in the sky above Vaelthorn Royal Palace.Their wings, even without beating, dominated their entire silhouettes from side to side. Their bodies were so disproportionately large compared to what a terrestrial creature should have been that their presence in the air seemed impossible without something extraordinary supporting them from below.The elderly official recognized their forms one second after Bravan did, and the moment he did, his legs chose the floor before his mind could issue any command."Four Auranveil." His voice came from the floor, half-collapsed, both hands already raised in front of his fa
Chapter 327
In the western wing of Vaelthorn Royal Palace, Bravan sat at his desk.Before him were three stacks of documents, each arranged according to an order he had determined himself: reports from territories that had already pledged their allegiance, drafts of agreements that had yet to be fully negotiated, and a thinner file than the others that had nevertheless been read more than everything else on his desk. It contained the names and positions of those who had yet to choose a side and could still be influenced before the line between too late and not too late disappeared.Bravan read the way a man did not merely read words, but everything hidden behind them—the implications, the intentions, the gaps between what was written and what was meant.Then came a knock at the door.Bravan did not immediately raise his head. The way the door was knocked was enough for him to read it: faster than usual, with an uneven rhythm, the kind of knock made by someone who needed to enter but also needed o

The two of them walked through the eastern wing's corridor.A corridor that usually felt wide enough for two people to walk with comfortable distance between them now seemed narrower than usual, perhaps because Carath was walking in a way that left no room around him for air that had no business being there.They passed a large window overlooking the southern sky.Carath had no intention of stopping.But the shadow forced him to.Not a small shadow. Not something that could be ignored at the edge of his vision and forgotten as he continued walking. A shadow large enough to darken part of the corridor through the window, moving in a way that immediately triggered something in Carath's mind, a mind that had been trained for years to recognize threats before those threats had even finished announcing themselves.He stopped.Turned.In the sky beyond the window, four silhouettes hovered.Huge. Their wings, even while motionless, dominated their entire silhouettes from edge to edge. Their
Chapter 325
In the eastern wing of Vaelthorn Royal Palace, Carath sat alone.His chamber was silent in exactly the way he preferred. No servants, no officials, no reports waiting to be read. Just him, his chair, and the window overlooking the palace courtyard below.There was a smile at the corner of his lips.Small, the kind of smile worn by someone who had already calculated the entire game board and found that every piece was exactly where it was supposed to be.More than six thousand people.Fifteen Sky Realm cultivators. Four hundred and eighty Star Realm cultivators. Five thousand six hundred Spirit Realm cultivators. The entire military force he had gathered, trained, and entrusted with a single purpose was now moving through Vrethkaar Forest, sealing off every possible escape route for an adventurer who thought he could provoke Carath simply by announcing himself throughout the palace.Provoke me?Carath almost laughed at the thought.The adventurer was clever, that much could not be deni
