Emperor Rael tried to remember when the last time he had been this stressed was.
He was unable to.
Not even the Kandrian Throne War had frayed his nerves as much as the battle between Rui and Ieyasu did.
Not even the news of being afflicted with the Eternal Dream disease had stressed him this much.
Neither the two previous wars, nor his own throne war.
Not even planning out the assassination of his own father had strained him as much as this battle did.
Everything was at stake.
His son's life was at stake.
"The battle between the two of them has probably already begun, Your Majesty." Sage Sayfeel's composed voice reached him.
"I am aware," Emperor Rael calmly replied. "They picked up Rui from the Shionel Confederation not too long ago, after all."
He had purposely refused any real-time updates of the war from the spectating Kandrian Martial Artists.
Their mission was more important.
