Nero took Leto and Asteria outside the palace, where Korybant was filling a bottomless pit with the dead bodies of the soldiers Nero killed.
"Umm… why are we here?" Leto asked hesitantly.
Nero smiled gently and turned to Leto, then said, "That bastard king didn't care about his family or citizens. But all the other towns and cities, even the old capital, weren't aware of it."
"They were so ignorant, almost as if they had no idea how shitty the king was. Not only that, they were all well-developed cities and towns, and it wouldn't be possible without a king watching over it."
Nero looked at Asteria and continued, "So there must be someone making all the wrongs right."
Nero turned to Leto and uttered, "Someone who knew how the kingdom should be ruled. Its economy and politics. And I assume you were the one who was managing all that, Queen Leto?"
