"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The moment I stepped into my father's office, something felt… off.
The air was tense, coiled tight like a string drawn too far. Every man present stood stiffly, their faces carved with unease.
"Ah, Crown Prince, you have arrived at last."
The Emperor said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
I replied, offering a respectful nod.
His gaze didn't soften.
"I have an urgent mission for the Albus Knight Squad."
An urgent mission?
"You are to depart immediately. Prepare for an expedition."
'Hah.'
The scoff left me before I could swallow it.
Now, of all times?
I'd begged him countless times during the Mid-Autumn surge—when the monster population swells and the northern forests grow restless with things that don't belong in this world. It was the perfect time to strike. But each time, he refused. Said I was needed in the palace. Said my presence here held more weight.
So what changed?
Why now?
