The fall of Guaral was of your design. Those circumstances shall soon be known. I shall make sure that happens.

You seem to have had a flash of inspiration, however, it does not appear to be anything proper.

You make too much noise. Keep your mouth closed.

Hurry, move!

You have procured my person and even evaded several of the Nine Divine Generals. Do you intend to continue sowing chaos and confusion in the empire, using my life as a shield? Or perhaps you wish to destroy my nation.

As Natsuki Subaru said, the inspections imposed at the main gates of the city are the first obstacle. It is imperative we find a way to evade them to get into the city.

If you are referring to the latest rebellion, I made an example of that family because it was necessary. You ought to collar any wight who might be aspiring to attempt the same deed. Fear produces the best effects for that.

Obviously, that is a trap.

Of course. If one wishes to be the ruler of the Empire, they must understand the land. The same is true for the subjects that serve.

I have reservations about the way you phrased it, but generally that is so.

Even if you do not believe me, that shall not change what I must do.

That 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 has his own way of life. Faced with the right enemy, he will give his all and then some. I seek nothing more than that of him.

Natsuki Subaru, how much are you able to move your hands?

Would that not be what you know as destruction?

――. A very well-thought-out proposal. The kind that is difficult to so easily dismiss.

Do not lose your nerve.

――. In this situation still, rather than yourself, you worry about that woman? Well, fine. I knew as much. Since that was what you desired, even at the cost of your right hand.

It is no surprise given the circumstances and the fact that The Flying Dragon General has retreated. Yorna Mishigure has brought the residents of the Demon City with her and has made this her new base.

𝘐 completed all preparations with that end in sight. But even so――

...Why, Natsuki Subaru.

Oh, I believe I can. None of the rabble in that room know the value of a single letter. What was most crucial was that I vacated the place with all possible speed.

Many times in the past, the Stargazers have precluded correctly that perils would befall the Empire. Those crises were dealt with to the fullest extent possible, but some things could not be saved. Therefore, plans are necessary.

Supposing that you are making use of the undead’s mechanisms to induce phenomena outside the realm of reason, for what reason do you appear before me without those numbers?

...From the way they were talking earlier, it must be true that they are unaware of Tanza’s whereabouts. For some reason, they suspect that we have concealed her location from them. Why would that be?

The Emperor wouldn’t even bat an eye. If anything, he would be a bit aggravated that he didn’t issue the order himself, but that would be the end of it. More importantly...

Leave your doubts and anger until you have finished what lies in front of you. Do not let this opportunity go to waste.

What is the reason for that? Aside from the fact that you are immovable as First.

――. There is a possibility, but it is close to nonexistent. The man I knew would not have raised the margin of error even slightly, and he would not have disclosed his actions to anybody until the very moment in which he carried them out.

To do that, we need to find where this “abyss with a great view” is located.

Ubilk, you knew about the cause of the Great Disaster beforehand. If that is the case, do Balleroy Temeglyph, Lamia, and the other Imperial family members reviving constitute the Great Disaster?
