Ethan shook his head. "We can't fight the Emperor. Do you know the amount of power the Emperor commands? That's equivalent to trying to fight the whole Empire!"
Julius scowled. "Of course we won't be fighting the Emperor. Think, why doesn't the Emperor just draft a decree and just arrest Severin? Eh? Why didn't he just send his army and carry him away?"
"Even the Emperor can't move like that without cause! If he should suddenly show interest in someone like Severin, then he would alert his own enemies.
"So the Emperor is likely using his agents to work in the dark for him. Also, there's a possibility that it's not the Emperor who's behind it all."
Ethan frowned and didn't look convinced. "I should have known I'm dead from the time you blackmailed me."
Severin studied them.
Although they didn't show it, he knew they aren't planning to back out. They were simply that shocked. But still, he made a mental note to himself to continue to keep an eye on them in that aspect.
