Sebastian arrived back sooner than expected.
In the western lands, the war reached its conclusion, and, as anticipated, Sebastian emerged victorious.
The promise he made to his generals was finally fulfilled. Amidst the triumph, Amala found her own closure, exacting revenge on her family.
Sebastian arrived without a grand welcome. In front of the palace door, Roxus was the only one who welcomed him after feeling Ernacht's telekinetic message.
It was a neat thing to let him announce Sebastian's imminent arrival to Roxus.
Roxus approached with a respectful nod. "Your Majesty, congratulations on your victory."
Sebastian, dismounting from Ernacht, acknowledged Roxus with gratitude. "Duchess Croix. As you see, I'm in a rush. How is everything?"
Roxus assured him, "All's well, just the usual palace affairs. And the Empress, she's back after having another visit to her homeland, Cassiopeia."
