It wasn't like I didn't expect this to happen.
In fact, from the moment that Atlas had called for me and brought me to this place, I more or less had guessed what was going to happen.
That was why I already had an answer.
"...Because I knew that something was going to happen in advance."
"Oh?"
The Emperor looked somewhat surprised while Atlas looked the same. I wasn't even sure if he was interested in this conversation or not.
Nonetheless, I went on to explain the situation to them.
"At around 8:34 P.M., Leon warned me that something was about to happen. I stayed alert, watching closely. After all, I didn't know how accurate his 'feeling' was, but thankfully, I trust him, and when I saw his expression start to falter, I acted."
"Leon?"
The Emperor turned to look at Atlas, who elaborated.
"He's Julien's knight, and one of the most promising cadets in Haven."
