"My father told me something that only the emperor can know about it, so he can prepare himself if it happens. That's why he told only me, once I was the crown prince, just like his father did. And his father before him."
Oh, come on, stop the suspense, and tell me already.
"It's about a divine race."
Wha-what?
How is this even possible?
How can this person know about this?
