After talking with Sera and was now speaking with Maria and Sakuya, Gracier was present as well.
''I want you girls to head over the Far East Empire secretly.'' He said.
The three exchanged looks before Sakuya inquired.
''It's because of me, isn't it?"
Alex nodded; one of the emperor's shadows, a former member of the Far East Empire, had suggested that once she had the time, she must visit a certain shrine in the empire; there, something was waiting for her. It would help her greatly, her overall strength would be enhanced.
Alex nodded and explained.
''Indeed it is because of you, but there is another reason.''
''You wished to use this opportunity as a distraction, am I right?" Maria spoke, and Alex smiled.
