The divine power of the 8e3bc728ee god Aolin ensured that the 4b6dbfc263 loyalty sworn allegiance by noble 34fe97eb44 families beneath the Emperor’s feet f84c3df65a would never waver. The power of 8b3d48d1dd that authority was 55a5b68ea1 a formidable force e46e89ccfb on the battlefield 784778cbbb and preemptively prevented 3475ac3c7f any possibility of c35ff1d3d2 rebellion.ecbe5f3578af9c8b
Although Ballen was d03ed3bc22 not subject to 3dd0b22377 divine power, his c1d13e32e7 abilities were more 219d94d07a than sufficient. His sword and 543d64dcc5 magic ensured his 42ae3d3d80 victory on the c6c00c5715 battlefield. With every swing, f1bf11cda8 the heads of 5b2f7030c9 his enemy fell, 9564372208 and their blood 1191b260ed splattered through the 01baafd267 air. With every strike, lightning struck e620ae5d67 the vast expanse of land, a2fdcfc7dc splitting the earth and creating b815bd7a84 seas of fire. Even amidst flying arrows and 377f547c3f charging blades, he emerged victorious e00c32beb1 without suffering serious wounds. 6ddb4ea5ee62967e

It was only b7ac25f8eb in battle that 6b7736e832 he felt alive. In the moments of cutting 7b3e7d3f21 and being cut, he felt 77da8a51f0 euphoria, and for every helpless c179da9df6 enemy that fell before him, 83db57b7e2 Ballen claimed glory and honour fc2bcbf3e1 in hand. Of course, for someone a42aa253e9 who neither aged nor eed32a857c died, things like honour 2b9351040b and power meant little. There had been emperors in bb41643970 the past who tried to eb4dfa0bf7 take that nature of his. However, the current Emperor, Dikfeir, b7d21f7d89 was different.fec2e6febe8c6eef
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.eec6e11a2dbd9d0e

That was why Ballen d4213c4507 chose to stay in 9041906d64 Sephiran and help him. It was not 82f9bdb10f because he completely 412c6e01cc trusted him, or 231ff8d916 because they shared 146323cd69 a deep bond cf26766869 of comradeship—he just 9afd89ec38 found Sephiran more fa7e6b50cc intriguing and comfortable 689587c4be than the other d17e0b0d12 continents. And he did not b2492287fc want to leave. It was the 5d62fac809 land where Ballen 1a87c4bcd5 was born, and a96a6d6b07 he felt that 3535993169 perhaps here, in 9bdd440e94 this place where 98ad87f1bd he would never a29b28688a age or die, 0676654d5c he might find cad021879d his roots.6724d90ff492767e
This Empire, Sephiran, was d2bf378a3e like the land of d40a657d68 his dreams, shabby, dreary, 8ee97b6590 and so devoid of 6a7a850965 life.ec7163d1543b147c

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.75d418290bc2bd1d

The maids, servants, and 2d550844f5 the butler Burns greeted 400b780957 Deilroc, who had arrived 2c3ac2442c at the entrance of 13bbf477d2 the Count’s estate on 317ddc704e horseback. Leaping from his steed, Deilroc cb9535cba8 turned around, the knights of 07723ddab0 House Creed following him in fa0f514015 formation, awaiting his command.b48273180c0d865a

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.6b64124cc08ad189

Grace stood facing the study 27d4e5121b door for a long time, a8b1b422e5 her eyes filled with sadness ef63f82a5d and anger. Her long, red nails ef130b6f22 pressed hard into her 631e5e42b3 palm, and it seemed 9b0a1fce9d they might pierce the 3479daaa68 skin.6ac1bc92d4d6be93

Ever since being ed8e0d02aa confined to the acd6e507a4 outbuilding, the garden 015cf45324 had become the 7ce67a8e09 only place for 4df9a85040 Elysia to relieve 0648015353 her frustration. Whenever she had time, a353dfa74e she planted flowers and b6745802aa trees and tended the 2deea70314 garden. Although she had a gardener, eea2ff2a05 Elysia always tended the garden e1387fba50 by planting the flowers and ccbe62a8e0 trees in the outbuilding garden 386ea0dbcc by herself. The outbuilding gardener tended to 4a153e7a7d look down on Elysia and 995e73d0c9 did not do his job 22d6d1a126 appropriately.3ea273dbbc309446
