Kent stood still, his eyes narrowing slightly as he stared at the Emperor. A moment passed in silence before a smirk slowly curled on his lips. "As you wish, Your Majesty," he said with gritted teeth, his tone dripping with mock respect. "If breaking this formation is what it takes to bring the truth to light, then so be it."
Without hesitation, the Emperor gestured to the trap masters to set up the Lotus Formation.
