In the Eastern Empire...
Vico Travisani was at the moment settling matters involving his state, the Western Empire, and the Spiritual Church, somewhat customarily, when one of his men arrived agitated at his place about the imperial palace.
"Your Majesty, I bring terrible news!" That level 95 Demigod said while having a solemn expression that was hard to ignore.
Vico immediately put aside the advisors he had with him and looked into the eyes of that subordinate.
He said nothing, and the subordinate soon told what the terrible problem was.
"Elder Daniel is dead! He was killed while traveling through the Ancestral Sea!" That person said all at once, while everyone in that area suddenly changed their expressions.
They all opened their eyes and moved their mouths to form ugly expressions while the tension in the surroundings rose to a scale that low-level Demigods would go berserk just by being there.
