Meanwhile, in the imperial palace of the Leopoldine family...
In this place, Emperor Leopoldine was standing before two of his sons, furious about what he had heard in the last few hours.
From what he had heard, these princes were acting behind his back to harm Lothur for weeks while he was trying to bring his grandson here.
The emperor's goal was not to make Lothur's life difficult because of Daemon's background but to see if this young man was worth caring for and joining the imperial family.
As much as this sovereign had issues with Daemon, many of his decisions contrary to Lothur's father had been to please the people in his family and protect the empire itself.
As a father, he was inclined to put his hand on Daemon's head, considering that he had his share of the blame for how this fellow had grown up.
