"Holy Scion…" Zarak repeated, the name feeling almost foreign on his tongue as he tried to grasp what kind of person could carry such a title.
He had never heard of anyone called that before. And the idea that someone could be even stronger than the emperor? It defied everything he thought he knew about power in this world.
"Is he really that strong?" he asked, his curiosity evident.
The princess gave a slow nod. "Yes. Holy scion is more than just strong. He is the protector of our empire. As for how powerful…"
She paused, a look of respect passing over her face. "Even my father, the Emperor, can't truly measure his strength. He only knows that the Holy Scion's power goes beyond his own, a strength that no one has fully understood."
Zarak's brows furrowed as he took this in. If this Scion ranked even above an emperor, his power must be beyond anything Zarak had seen in the mortal world.
