Astorius' eyes narrowed as he watched the chaos. The revelation left him momentarily stunned.
"To think that Karion's sons, who had been suspected to be killed by the Red Dragon Order, were actually killed by Lucius?"
He clenched his fists tightly before shifting his gaze briefly to Karion, who was trembling with rage.
"This isn't ideal... but perhaps it's better this way. With this revelation, Karion has even more reason to commit fully to this war. His anger will fuel the Empire's cause."
Meanwhile, Ragnar chuckled, leaning back slightly as he crossed his arms. He was really surprised at what Lucius had just revealed.
"Lucius, to think that you're more daring than I gave you credit for. "Not only did you admit to killing Karion's sons."
"But you mocked him to his face and even brought out their arms as trophies? That's not just bravery—that's audacity on another level."
