Half an Hour

"King Alex is here?" Long Fangyu asked. His face showed a hint of surprise, an emotion he hadn't felt in a while now. He walked quickly, following his father to wherever it was that he was taking him.

"He's arrived through the Voidgate as we assumed he would," the Emperor said.

"Is he… alone?" the Crown Prince asked. "Is Huan with him?"

"I don't think so," the Emperor said. "But it doesn't matter. So long as he has brought us the sword, your brother can stay in the other continent for as long as he likes."

Long Fangyu looked at his father, a glimmer of disappointment and animosity flashing through them before he suppressed them immediately.

The Emperor quickly flew out of the palace, making his way to the teleportation building with the Crown Prince and several of his subordinates right behind him.
