Bustle! In a large hall, hundreds of people were gathered. “I heard the talks ended well!” “I can’t believe Duke Baino accepted!” “I heard he became friends with the Lord Commander of Lunarstella!” “I-Impossible!” “Oh, and the Lord Commander is really a kid!” “Can’t believe it!” The nobles of Solaria were talking loudly about what had happened during the reunion of both Empires. The nobles who weren’t present were made aware by the nobles present. Gulp Baino was drinking vine. His face was red. From humiliation and anger. ‘That brat!’ He couldn’t believe he had been played by a brat. He couldn’t do anything against Aita. He took the lead in the talks easily. Usually it would be the contrary. Baino would take the lead and the people facing him would wear a pale face. Baino glanced at Salazar, who was with the Imperial family at a specific table. Salazar was talking with the Emperor and the Empress. With Liana and Albert’s help, they were explaining what had happened

“Please.”“...”Aita was shocked to hear that from the Emperor of Solaria.It was the same for the others.“Y-Yes! Pl-Please Lord Aita!”Liana also joined her father.“What the heck are you doing?”Aita cringed as he saw them bowing in front of him.It was like he was the protagonist of those Chinese novels who would laugh at the people bowing to him.“The fault lay with Hero Vincent and Hero Jordan. I apologize for their behavior.”“You are quite late, Solaria Emperor. I was offended by the idiot guards as well, by the moron nobles in the talks, those fuckers of ‘heroes’.”“...”“Finally, that old man dared to threaten me.”He pointed to Dante, who was gritting his teeth.“It’s a lot, don’t you think so?”“I apologize for my classmates!”A new voice rang out.Aita and the others turned to the entrance.Aura and Claire were there.“I should have been there. I’m sorry Ori-Aita!”Aura shouted.She had a pleading expression as she looked at Aita.“Kyra, who am I?”Aita asked Kyra.“The L

“The space rift? We don’t know anything about it though?”Aura said.They had already asked Helio about it and he hadn't even given them any information about it because they were as lost as them.He could have lied but he seemed very sincere, so it was probably true."Yeah, Solaria doesn't have any information about it but what about the others ?"Sienna asked."You mean Nychterin and Fulgura ?""No, Anna. I don't think they have anything either. I'm talking about Lunarstella and Niveis."""!""Aura and Anna opened their eyes in realization. "Now that we made a truce with them. We can maybe ask them. But there is a high chance of failure."Though they made a truce, it didn't mean they became best friends after all.Information about the space rift was also valuable, so there was even less chance."Leave that matter to me.""Aura?"Anna was surprised by Aura’s proposition."Why are you so sure ?"Sienna frowned."W-Well, that Lord Commander has a good impression of me and Claire, so

The small feast to celebrate the truce between Solaria and Lunarstella ended in good terms even though Aita left because of Prince Albert’s comment. Or at least they thought that was the reason. But no, Aita just left because he felt uncomfortable with the skin mask and he wanted to sleep as well… "I see…" In a large room, Claire was facing Sienna. She didn't find the time to explain to her what happened during the meeting so first thing in the next morning, she told everything to Sienna. Well, everything except Aita's identity. Honestly, she couldn't tell if he seriously meant his words when he said that he would kill their classmates if his identity was revealed by them. But after seeing how he mercilessly beat up Vincent and Jordan, she preferred to play it safe. There was also the fact that she thought Aita might have a good reason to hide his identity, so in the end, she kept mute even in front of Sienna. "The Lord Commander of Lunarstella is aware…" Sienna fell silent.

"Claire." "..." "Claire…" "Ah yes?" Claire finally replied. After Aita 'delivered' Claire safely to Sienna, he bid them farewells and left. Since then, Claire seemed lost in her thoughts. Sienna looked at her with a hint of confusion. She couldn't help but feel like she was missing something. Something that would explain Claire and Aura's strange behavior towards Aita. She knew both Claire and Aura well. Claire would never act so casually with a stranger. Aura was a more open-minded girl, but she also acted too close to Aita. Something was amiss... But she couldn't find what it was. "Hu-Hum, Sienna." "Yes?" Claire hesitated a little but remembering about Aita's words, she opened her mouth. "I-It’s about the Lord Commander of Lunarstella. He doesn't want us to involve ourselves with Salazar Solaria anymore." "..." Sienna furrowed her brows. "Why…?" She asked while scanning Claire’s expression. "He said that he would take care of him so we shouldn't interfere in his p
