Telmus' words hung in the air for a while and it was broken by the Empress's loud laughter, "I admire you Telmus, I truly do. You choose to bind yourself to the laws you hate and you still wonder why it does not follow your will. You are weak despite all your powers, and it is your madness that will come to an end, not those of the gods. The last time I checked, they were gods, and you are mortal. Your words are empty and your hand is weak."
Telmus sneered and pointed at the Empress, "You are giving me reasons to change my mind about keeping you alive with every word that comes from your mouth. I have not obstructed your war, and instead given more than it would ever need to succeed. This is my final offer and warning Scarlet, don't test me!"
The Empress tapped the side of her throne in amusement, "So you are finally going to shed your cloak of civility and rebel?"
