Imperial Palace.
The meeting was done in secret.
Only a few people were allowed inside.
Emperor Alexander Drakon.
Grand Prince Victor.
The four Duke families.
Ashbourne.
Ravencrest.
Ironheart.
Frostvale.
Then the emperor gazed at the nobles who had all assembled.
There’s also the fact that the Mystic Pavilion is older than the current empire.
But Duke Arthur stayed quiet.
The Ravencrest Duke uttered his words.
The information network of the Pavilion is too strong.
They have secrets that even some great families would not be able to cover up.
The emperor nodded.
That is why the royal family has not tried to control them!
There are 3 rules for the Pavilion.
Don’t get involved in international conflicts.
Don’t give any information away for free!
“Never betray humanity.”
Duke Arthur appeared to be in on it.
The real power of theirs is yet to be felt.
Victor nodded.
“Correct.”
There are experts at the Pavilion; it is true they are hidden.
“Ancient formations.”
“Unknown inheritance.”
No one in the royal family can tell how much power they have.
The Ironheart Duke inquired:
“Why are we discussing them now?”
The emperor set a paper on the table.
“The Crown Competition.”
Everyone became serious.
“The Pavilion has already started gathering data on all the princes and princesses.”
Arthur frowned slightly.
“No.”
The emperor shook his head.
“They are observing.”
The voice of Duke Frostvale was heard.
There are dangerous times approaching for the empire.
“The Forbidden Battlefield.”
“The Beast Domain.”
“The Demon Domain.”
“Everything is changing.”
The emperor nodded.
This is why the next king is to be a man who can.
In the meantime, far away concealment…
Andrew’s first clone took a look at everything through the Mystic Pavilion network.
He took a hidden camera to capture the conversation.
Eventually the information would be passed on to Andrew.
The match between the royal family and the noble family…
Had begun.
