In the grand hall.
The golden token thrown by the Pyrothrone Kingdom Emperor suddenly hovered in mid-air, and the surrounding space rippled like water. Moments later, the Melodic Academy's dean, Rictor, appeared out of nowhere.
Rictor extended his aged hand, catching the token that signified the order to move against Owen. As he rubbed the heavy, cold token between his fingers, he sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, I urge you to reconsider taking action against Owen."
The moment these words were spoken, everyone in the hall froze in place.
They had not expected Rictor, the dean of Melodic Academy, to personally appear here.
Even more surprising was that he had come to prevent Pyrothrone Kingdom from taking action against Owen!
Everyone in Middle Earth knew that Owen had killed the crown prince. How could such a grievous crime go unpunished?
