THUD
Deep within the Royal Hall, a fearful Martial Sage was tossed in front of the Emperor of Harmony by four Martial Sages of the Martial Union.
"Aggragor." Emperor Rael's rich and deep voice addressed the Underworld Sage.
The Underworld Sage gazed at Emperor Rael with apprehension and fear.
"Rael…" he murmured with fright. "To think that you would hunt me like this."
"Did you mistake my tolerance for approval?" Emperor Rael's tone grew more powerful.
The Underworld Sage flinched at his words.
"Even for a Martial Sage, your crimes are overwhelming." Emperor Rael narrowed his eyes. "Not even the Martial Union will overlook centuries of antagonistic behavior in light of your status. Frankly, I have half a mind to execute you here and now."
That was a lie.
But the Underworld Sage didn't know that.
His paranoia was so deep that he didn't even consider that it might not be true.
