Information and the Hoarding Thereof

“By the way... when do you think His Majesty became an awakener?” Jeremy asked

Youssef thought for a moment, trying to come up with a timeline in which the emperor could have awakened without noticeably being absent from the public eye. But he couldn’t remember a stretch of even a week since the founding of the empire where Aron hadn’t made an appearance. “If it happened after the empire was founded, it was probably in the first few weeks. But that isn’t feasible either... so he must’ve awakened much earlier than that.”

The younger man nodded at the idea that Aron had awakened before founding the empire. He hadn’t made that many public appearances at all up until The Last War, only showing himself when it was absolutely necessary, he was forced to do so, or when he introduced his first products.
