Blood Enslavement

When Albion saw Empress Una leaving the palace alone, he found it strange that she did not have anyone else with her. 

In that split second, he decided to tail her quietly to see if it would lead him to unexpected surprises. 

And voila, she did not disappoint him.

"Your Majesty, who is this elf? Is he an enemy?" the high-ranking subordinate inquired as he subconsciously took a defensive stance like the empress. 

Several dozens of men more gathered with vigilant looks. 

"Yes, and a powerful one at that—Too powerful, in fact. Stand down, all of you. None of you are his opponent, and neither am I," Empress Una stated before asking Albion, "Is there no chance for us to reconcile?"

"You should have prepared for a day like this when you turned away from my side that day like the other generals," Albion calmly said.
