After explaining in detail how it all worked with sending the players back to their home, Alex and his mother were requested to stay in the palace for the night.
Since it was already dark, the two decided to take the emperor up on his offer.
The princess took away Helen while Alex remained to answer a few of the Emperor's questions while the emperor himself answered a few more questions of his own.
Alex was simply curious about what was going on with the Luminance empire to see if there were any big changes that he would be interested to hear about.
From what he heard, almost everything was the same in essence. Of course, things had changed underneath the veil, but overall the empire functioned the same.
