Set Up

The appearance of Leonel caught the Imperial Court Minister completely off guard. The sounds in this place were entirely isolated for the sake of privacy and safety, so none of them had even heard Leonel's earlier roars.

"Who?!"

The Ministers all looked toward Leonel at the exact same time. There were many old faces amongst the crowd, but still too few of them had seen Leonel personally. Well, more accurately, they had all seen Leonel personally, but the circumstances between then and now made it difficult to draw the connection.

Back then, when Shield Cross Stars projected Leonel's face all across, he was still a teen and he looked a lot different. His hair was bronze and his eyes were a pale green, plus he wasn't so malnourished as he looked now.

Only those intimately familiar with him would actually recognize him.
