Khan had a hard time accepting what he had just heard. According to Lord Rsi's words, only the Emperor and his Royal Guards could live on Zedekiel. That was still okay, but everything changed when Khan added the blind Thilku's statement to the equation.
'Does it mean Zedekiel only has five citizens?' Khan wondered, amazed by that conclusion.
Sure, the Empire's domain was gargantuan, but appointing a whole, massive planet to five people sounded too much, even for that unreasonable species. Moreover, that was just the first of the shocking details.
Lord Rsi had told Khan that soldiers came to train in Zedekiel every year. The already accomplished ones probably underwent a selection for the Royal Court, hoping to become Royal Guards. Still, only four of them had been chosen after an unknown amount of time.
