The day had finally arrived for the Emperor to attend the Industrial Exposition, and Elias was at his booth in the Crystal Palace early in the morning.
No matter how many inquiring factory owners approached him, Elias paid them no mind. His role as an exhibitor was merely a cover; he wasn't there to sell anything.
From Olivia, he received news that Charlton II's convoy had already departed from the Hargreaves Palace. Elias scanned his surroundings, noting the palpable excitement in the Crystal Palace as everyone anticipated the Emperor's arrival.
About an hour later, Charlton II finally arrived.
His convoy was impressive, surrounded by numerous extraordinary beings, and many high-ranking church officials were in attendance as well.
Upon closer inspection, Elias spotted several agents from the special affairs office lurking in the shadows. The Wigner royal's two major supernatural organizations had indeed mobilized in full force.
