SEVENTY NINE: Advice

The fire in the Emperor's hall became officially marked as an unfortunate accident.

News spread was strictly limited to those within Mevani's palace walls, and even then, details were extremely scarce.

A young archer with superhuman powers was never mentioned, and those who had seen unfathomable things that day were ordered to keep their mouths shut.

And so, the work of overtaking Mevani pressed forward unhindered by the fire.

Kel, for one, couldn't help but be surprised at the ease in which the spectacle she created was dropped, all due to a few words from the Emperor as he lay in bed.

But remembering all the other bizarre things in the Emperor's repertoire--an ancient underground society, a strictly guarded forest with strange happenings, secret tunnels littering Serin's palace--suddenly it seemed such occurrences must be commonplace for soldiers under the Dragon Emperor.
