Dawn came and, as expected, Niton went into an uproar as the news that a new Grandmaster emerged reached all ears.

"Thank you for answering my call"
"Of course"
In the royal dining hall, Fredrick sat opposite the Emperor while they feasted on the delicacies served to them.
Bolton stood at the Emperor's side, watching Fredrick ever so closely, a gesture Fredrick kindly ignored.
Following yesterday's event, the Emperor summoned Fredrick.
Finishing the food on their plate, both men wiped their mouths away.
But before the Emperor could even say anything, Fredrick brought out a scroll from his space ring.
"What is that?"
Fredrick shrugged.
"I do not know. The guild master asked me to hand it to Bolton here"
With a stiff posture, Bolton snatched it from Fredrick and unfolded it. His face became unsightly as he read through it.
"Well? What is it?"
The Emperor wasn't one to be patient.
"It'sā¦a record of finances"
"What use is that to us?"
