The divine power 7554c8a8be of the god 37be9cd341 Aolin ensured that 148f046056 the loyalty sworn 1d9f4cdbe8 allegiance by noble 2cd71f1aed families beneath the 6a476cbd3c Emperor’s feet would ceebf44cfc never waver. The power of 3419d35a15 that authority was 124dbcd850 a formidable force d6c47234ef on the battlefield 1a505961aa and preemptively prevented d8236b995d any possibility of 426c3187ed rebellion.9859b2507ff07d12

Although Ballen was not subject 6902ccacb8 to divine power, his abilities 0abdf47a0f were more than sufficient. His sword and bb0b808667 magic ensured his a550a92117 victory on the 3cf56c6997 battlefield. With every swing, the heads 7fe763a734 of his enemy fell, and 18c806e81a their blood splattered through the 2159f32777 air. With every strike, bcf2a680e8 lightning struck the 0e0f3ce06b vast expanse of 617c80cf54 land, splitting the 1c36a29494 earth and creating defb5143a8 seas of fire. Even amidst flying arrows and 8fc6629db7 charging blades, he emerged victorious 4c0ff3253f without suffering serious wounds. 7b8196c45299d961

It was only in aee07ddffd battle that he felt e6203ed616 alive. In the moments 349618ab56 of cutting and 8b0a16310b being cut, he c72011d9d9 felt euphoria, and f956c0f951 for every helpless 1d33b4d52a enemy that fell 1dc586b870 before him, Ballen 6cf10d8813 claimed glory and 06bc6282ac honour in hand. Of course, for someone a873f9881c who neither aged nor d8c1dc34e9 died, things like honour aa18abdea0 and power meant little. There had been emperors in 4d4cb7a54e the past who tried to 0c8fe7d5c7 take that nature of his. However, the current Emperor, b0959fe671 Dikfeir, was different.6c7820fe830ac713

He had known about Ballen’s abilities and secrets but never sought to exploit them. As Emperor, he wished for Ballen to act for the good of the Empire, but Dikfeir never tried to fulfil his selfish desires. He would not use the power of the gods for personal greed, nor would he wage pointless, genocidal wars.580fa055ab90e07d

That was why 69419b7189 Ballen chose to d077d71e44 stay in Sephiran 79b91731f8 and help him. It was not c94fef464d because he completely 7b195b8c42 trusted him, or 553ca3fba8 because they shared 413dc742a0 a deep bond f126fb3613 of comradeship—he just a05f94df34 found Sephiran more 3a46e83a04 intriguing and comfortable b0f30516b8 than the other 65479677fd continents. And he did cef7cea36d not want to 8c4d846239 leave. It was the land 9c49e09792 where Ballen was born,  492a16c9e2 and he felt that d0357a1c24 perhaps here, in this ee4091eff8 place where he would db7ea0d0c1 never age or die, b0f5fa6a7b he might find his 2df9ac4dfd roots.81c1a2b3327020f8

This Empire, Sephiran, was like 3cd0bae4bb the land of his dreams, a62c60231c shabby, dreary, and so devoid 2099c04426 of life.91b474785d4f907d

Count Deilroc Creed has returned from his expedition to the Count’s estate. He stopped briefly at the Imperial Palace to speak with the Emperor. With great difficulty, he slipped away from the Emperor, who was keen to prolong his stay, and returned to the Count’s house.4a61286e571b3a52

The maids, servants, 03628a3fe2 and the butler ff0cfe8f5c Burns greeted Deilroc, d8f2c52de7 who had arrived c653f15a93 at the entrance e4c9223692 of the Count’s 29d09f34b3 estate on horseback. Leaping from his steed, 47b28e9095 Deilroc turned around, the 753184d91a knights of House Creed f90d9ec9d5 following him in formation, e0b1342263 awaiting his command.a1f29261e9b14c74

“Well done, my lads. This victory in bbacb16626 our expedition would 4cecd2f4f8 not have been 02373dff09 possible without your 41e2609a4e strength.

Those words were for bb72f3de78 Grace, who had followed e739e6b721 him to the front 75fcb2b189 of the second-floor study. Grace, who had been 8b8e6defeb trailing behind, stopped in bb8518123d her tracks.7088302b160def02

Without looking back even once, Deilroc opened the door to the study and went in. Burns spun around at the threshold, blocking Grace’s path. She had not intended to follow him inside anyway.d2ab36f147db23d5

Grace stood facing 5007c9bc78 the study door 40895bd4c2 for a long d465a36fe3 time, her eyes dc048943d3 filled with sadness 5638b02b88 and anger.

As a capable butler, Burns immediately noticed his Master’s eyes slowly scanning the desk. He wondered if he was looking at the papers, but his gaze skillfully avoided them; instead, his eyes alternated between papers and empty spaces between the stacks.9b7167d265bce9fc

Ever since being 7873eeec98 confined to the 246599412e outbuilding, the garden e54614c8dc had become the 249afced04 only place for 79d06a4d88 Elysia to relieve c853feb736 her frustration. Whenever she had time, cacd51e142 she planted flowers and 15d08c8cd2 trees and tended the 282c107a57 garden. Although she had a 64d47cb77e gardener, Elysia always tended e2b1bb738c the garden by planting 78e85d43ce the flowers and trees 330b736963 in the outbuilding garden 4332a249b7 by herself. The outbuilding gardener f0f862646d tended to look b89e156c44 down on Elysia 6c32c62610 and did not 19364bfaeb do his job 0066582164 appropriately.79cd2df656a7a9b4

She patted the soil-covered 2b656a30cd ground with her tiny 891c402e45 palm and sprinkled water 370074a86d on it with a d48a8c4f21 watering can. She would repeat the same 700b80208b thing continuously, and her back 9b6d8ff7c5 started to ache and stiffen, 408fc995ed as though it had frozen 425288b338 in place. She stretched her back while 53bae7e12f letting out a small groan. Elysia recognised Burns 2f7ed3f1cf walking towards her 270cba6792 from a distance.13f909e846394781
