A Technique of Domination

----

'Asteroth is here already?' Apollo silently thought to himself.

It wasn't long before he looked towards Saehtyn since he wanted to ask a few questions. However, he didn't want to seem too desperate. So, Apollo first worked out how he would approach the topic before asking away.

"How did you know he was outside of your control?"

"Well, how do you think? From experience! I tried to tap into his Ira, but it was ironclad. It was simply impossible for me to enact my authority," Saehtyn answered with a wry smile.

For the first time in thousands of years, he felt powerless. And, it wasn't from one but two sides. The Monarch Candidates gave him the same exact feeling despite being from separate parties.

"I'm guessing that he was quite strong from your expression," Apollo remarked. His roundabout way of acquiring information was hilarious to Fuhrer, even causing him to chuckle.
