The divine power of a1818165c8 the god Aolin ensured 1dd72f9ff9 that the loyalty sworn c7b9611f93 allegiance by noble families 2c305a2baa beneath the Emperor’s feet 55731c466d would never waver. The power of that authority 5e0ab07e79 was a formidable force on 6d0592b134 the battlefield and preemptively prevented 82bf3d829b any possibility of rebellion.45d48c67c2f22c64

Although Ballen was 653edf60b9 not subject to a2d42eac37 divine power, his ac24881257 abilities were more fd9b4b6356 than sufficient. His sword and magic ensured 1947fd94c8 his victory on the battlefield. With every swing, the f18830f728 heads of his enemy 449fa7fc3c fell, and their blood 243375e613 splattered through the air. With every strike, lightning 8557f4866a struck the vast expanse 2aa28432da of land, splitting the b81180f3c2 earth and creating seas 26243aac51 of fire. Even amidst flying 0d73c5386a arrows and charging 76a11be058 blades, he emerged ae0fd6f2de victorious without suffering aa185ed90b serious wounds. a205b520eb4f4b9c

It was only 90139ef47b in battle that a2920c1d30 he felt alive. In the moments of a6165eb6a0 cutting and being cut, 2f1d4e9f81 he felt euphoria, and 68ed4b6825 for every helpless enemy 25474ba8a8 that fell before him, 1f09c7408f Ballen claimed glory and 394e931073 honour in hand. Of course, for de160ebc23 someone who neither 6fc6a2016a aged nor died, 960b8e09c8 things like honour 4629882052 and power meant 505a8c666b little. There had been emperors c1060950c6 in the past who d264d5dd0c tried to take that 60690c415a nature of his. However, the current Emperor, Dikfeir, a3c725caab was different.afb23da0d8be4fd9

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.6d59d56a8a9cdc90

That was why Ballen chose f22dbe9858 to stay in Sephiran and 42b3015ebe help him. It was not 6ed2fdefcb because he completely cde051c6f2 trusted him, or cbef4270bb because they shared f05682b2a7 a deep bond 1f12768c99 of comradeship—he just 186d3d64f7 found Sephiran more 75989e3e12 intriguing and comfortable 77d307a815 than the other fa2843716c continents. And he did not 6c49e6fb28 want to leave. It was the land 2306dfb89d where Ballen was born,  27702b19aa and he felt that 0dc3fd1a90 perhaps here, in this 4c14f0ecd8 place where he would 3e1d56aad1 never age or die, 9bb184657a he might find his da9a864f9f roots.5aa63d0f9b7891fc

This Empire, Sephiran, 0c8ad9d69b was like the 5642745806 land of his 847e804f03 dreams, shabby, dreary, 1bf4acb3d4 and so devoid 0afc154958 of life.2af6c0cf7c3d92b2

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.7fc64f9ce00de6c5

The maids, servants, and 40cad471d6 the butler Burns greeted ec45bc056f Deilroc, who had arrived b79ea9a7fc at the entrance of 787e61d1d8 the Count’s estate on 31dc4af445 horseback.

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.84568b80bc0556eb

Ever since being confined to b756e84b86 the outbuilding, the garden had b03054a434 become the only place for 4086430987 Elysia to relieve her frustration. Whenever she had 423a0427f3 time, she planted 603edf8e6b flowers and trees c849f5e1e6 and tended the 89d18b53aa garden. Although she had a 0566fe2330 gardener, Elysia always tended 6ec26e3f79 the garden by planting 6a2f97ca44 the flowers and trees ea073643b9 in the outbuilding garden 79d90b4fd3 by herself. The outbuilding gardener tended f50e9f5739 to look down on 103f3e82bc Elysia and did not fb4c59b6d8 do his job appropriately.6c891729836b3ca3
