When we returned to the training grounds the next morning, we were introduced to the remaining children of the Empress for the first time, with Lady Fenryas pulling them into whatever she had planned despite them very clearly not wanting to be here.
As such, the Empress herself and all her wives had shown up, putting all of us in awe as we looked at the assembled women at the front of the training grounds.
Seeing one or two - even three - of them together was already something special, as each of these women radiated power far above most of what I had seen before.
For me, the pinnacle of strength that I had gotten to witness for the longest time was the Marquess and the Countess; the strongest Knight besides Lady Fenryas, and one of the Saintesses of the Empire.
