Bryson leaned forward as his gaze was still fixed on Lucius. "So, you're asking for an alliance, but one that places Volcaria at the center, am I right?."
Lucius chuckled as he shook his head. He raised a single finger in a subtle gesture of correction. "Not an alliance, but a genuine fusion between the two."
Lucius then explained it more clearly. "There will be no alliance. Instead, we'll form one complete empire with a new royal family as its core."
Bryson glared at Lucius as he processed the bold statement. "A new royal family? I don't understand."
Lucius smirked. "Let me explain it. The Volcaria royal family will merge with the Red Dragon Order."
"Together, we'll create a singular, unified power—one that surpasses all organizations, whether it was your group or empire. No fragmentation and limit."
