Chapter 1998 - Federation (3) (1/2)
No one could have imagined Amphorae's answer.
”These events? I don't see anything wrong with them.” Amphorae seemed calm, as if it was only natural.
King Star frowned. ”Do you take us for fools?”
”It's easy to take simple matters and spin them as you choose to make us appear to be at fault, especially when you have hidden motives. Explaining these matters is uncomplicated. My husband is the Successor of the Celestial Deer Sect. Aren't his actions of caution obvious to anyone who understands what this means?”
Those below were stunned. Celestial Deer Sect? Can you really so blatantly admit such a thing?
There wasn't a single soul here who didn't understand the ramifications of such a title. Not only was it shocking, it explained everything so simply that King Star almost blushed in shame.
”As for how my husband exited Celestial Corner without the barrier fading, isn't that even more obvious? He simply passed off his Key Wielding responsibilities to someone else. Since that someone else hadn't completed their trials yet, it's obvious that the barrier would stay up.”
Hearing this, King Star's ability to maintain a neutral faltered. She really was making his questions seem silly.
”Finally, what do you mean, close relationship? Is it anything odd for a Higher Existence who's touched the highest floor of the Epistemic Tower to be familiar with its tower spirit? Your concerns are laughable, but I do have some concerns of my own that I'd very much like to get off my c.h.e.s.t.”
Without waiting for King Star to respond, Amphorae continued.
”The sudden appearance of your Star Clan has always filled me with questions. Many here might not know, but the Sacharro Clan is well aware that there are 5 centers of power outside of the tower quadrants. The Devil Quadrants, the Nephilim, the Sapientia, the Transcendent Beast Alliance and… The Sprite Alliance.”
King Star's face darkened as those ignorant many were shocked by this news.
”Thousands of years ago, your Clan suddenly appeared and conquered a quadrant of ours more swiftly than any of us could react. You used the guise of ignorance in order to justify your actions, claiming you believed to have found new territory and thought to make it your own.
”This seems fine on the surface. After all, since you weren't part of the tower quadrants, how could you know about its system and its rules. From then on, the Star Clan became a new member of our cl.u.s.ter and after consolidating your gains and become a Second Grade Comet Clan, you also became the perennial first place quadrant.
”Well… Everything would be fine if you weren't once part of the Sprite Alliance.”
King Star's facial expression twisted.
