The Twelfth Elder really did not wish to reveal Leo to the council today, as deep down, he still harbored the suspicion that Noah's death hadn't been an accident and that it was in fact orchestrated by one of the elders present in this room.
And yet, despite his resolve to stay silent, something about the Fourth Elder's words struck a nerve inside him.
For the fourth elder to claim that Aegon Veyr might be a better talent than Noah…
That wasn't just a stretch. It was borderline blasphemy.
Noah had already stepped into the Transcendent Realm before turning twenty-five, and was knocking on the door of the Monarch Realm by the time he hit thirty-three.
That made him not only the most gifted Dragon the Cult had ever seen, but the only one in history who might have reached the Monarch Realm before the age of thirty-five.
When the next closest to ever do it had only done so at fifty-five.
