The Owner of the State Makes the Rules 

After hearing from the Empress of the Black Plain Empire what Minos was planning, Aurae went to where Emperor Stuart was supposed to be, leaving Abby behind.

It didn't take Aurae long to figure out where Minos was, but it was too late to do anything about it when she reached him.

Arriving in the area of Brown, where Minos had arranged an extensive meeting with the citizens of the empire who wanted to surrender, Aurae found an empty place, while a black hole capable of swallowing lower Demigods was near Minos.

She couldn't distinguish the energy in Minos' black hole, but she sensed that much of it didn't come from the young level 89 Sage. In her opinion, it had come from the 2 million or so people who were supposed to be there.

Seeing that only a few hundred people were there but were all wearing symbols of the Black Plain Empire, the elf looked around, her eyebrows furrowed.

"What have you done?" She asked in a somber tone.
