Now that Pavone had died, however, Ronin knew that this meant the Erasure was gone. He can talk to Espinella again and communicate with the remaining Daemons this way, but...
This also meant that the Nobles will slowly regain their powers, and fight back.
They no longer have an army, as all of them were killed by Cermin in one strike. Maellan could create more, but that needs time, and he also needs to recover.
There was also Rabuka and Volken on the loose. They may plan to change sides and appeal to Nobles, or they may hide for a while and then strike at the most opportune moment.
'Espinella…..' He communicated first.
(I am still here, Milord.) Espinella said.
'You have seen what happened even when you could not talk to me, have you not?' Ronin said. 'It's time to bring your daughters above ground.'
(Of course. They have terrorized Elementi and Mecha enough to keep them on their toes.)
