The heavy wooden door closed behind him, and Scholar Yerug breathed out a sigh of relief in the corridor.
Apparently, his status was still not high enough to participate in the meetings of the truly illustrious figures of the Glorious Empire.
However, thinking of the sudden appearance of those three Holy Knights, Scholar Yerug didn't feel particularly exhilarated.
Duke St. Gregorian looked frail and pallid, suggesting that his injuries weren't fully healed.
Prince Lexie acted indifferent, clearly still holding a grudge for being entrapped and exiled by Emperor Reinhardt.
As for Mr. Ji, who now inhabited Duke St. Hilde's body… he was essentially a demon willing to employ any means to achieve his goal.
It was hard to say whether the presence of these three Holy Knights at the Storm Fortress would bring hope for victory to the Empire, or a greater crisis.
Furthermore, their appearance had completely ruined Scholar Yerug's plan.
