After Azgral and the Beastmen group left the throne room, the emperor also ordered everyone else to leave the throne room. In less than two minutes, the only individuals left in the room were the Emperor, Alex, and his shadow guardians.
After everyone left the throne room, Emperor Melvin used a golden scroll that, according to Lady Margaret, was a unique quality one-time-use scroll with a Seventh Rank space spell stored on it.
The spell isolated the throne room in its separate space, making it impossible for anyone to spy on them or enter the room for its active duration.
After the emperor was satisfied with the privacy, he left his throne, appeared before Alex, and then directly told Alex about his request, which took him by surprise as it was not what he expected the emperor to request.
"Emperor Melvin, You want me to ask Guardian Elmara to concoct a potion for you?" Alex asked.
