She was wiser than he imagined, initiating contact and trying to negotiate with him... She recognised his true power, didn't she?
The others are simply fools to dare to go against them... War? Hah, why call it a war when everyone knew it would be one-sided?
Edward didn't fear the upcoming confrontation, he welcomed it, and he had been preparing for it. He had many tricks up his sleeves and he intended to use them to gain control of the Emperor this time.
He didn't care if his body deteriorated from the excessive use of forbidden magic, he wasn't willing to wait around this time. He was going to get her no matter what. She promised him... He will hold her accountable...
Controlling the Captain, the Head Priest, what a waste. He should dream bigger, he intended to control the Emperor, turning him into a puppet to do his bidding.
