Seizing the opportunity, Lunaria darted to Luke's rear.
With an air of unshakable confidence, she issued a grave proclamation to the emperor.
"Your fate is sealed; my savior is here."
After those words left her lips, Luke found himself breaking into a cold sweat. Internally, he implored, 'F! Don't exacerbate the situation unnecessarily. Woman, you're driving me insane!!
'Do you desire my death that strongly? If even you can't win against him, how can I, a lower-ranking individual, possibly succeed? Damn it!' Luke muttered inwardly, venting his frustration at Lunaria for provoking the emperor.
The emperor then turned his piercing gaze toward Luke, meticulously scrutinizing him and searching for any hint of uniqueness. He channeled his power to examine Luke closely, trying to discern if there was anything unusual about him.
