Something Profound
Seraphina purposely trailed off after making her initial speech because this was Blackfire's plan to pressure Darius to a compromise.
And it worked like a charm.
The Saint begged Lux to make the World Announcement stop.

It was not only the Black Coffin that sensed King Septimius' arrival. Seraphina sensed him as well.
Naturally, everyone inside Lux's room also sensed the presence of the ruler of Agartha, which made Darius' face turn a shade paler.
