Undone

"Even though I somewhat expected this, I was still caught unprepared." The Cultus King said softly. 

He was prepared for Ryu's talent, but was still caught off guard by the sheer volume of it. At this moment, he really wasn't sure what to do. 

The world was simply too vast. He wasn't his daughter and as such didn't have a special connection with Ryu. How then could he find them as easily as Ailsa had found Ryu? It was like looking for a needle in the vast expanse of space. 

The Cultus King sighed. "I don't know if this boy was sending us a message or not, but despite the fact both of those brats died, I couldn't sense any injury to their souls."

How could the two little nephews actually dare to repeat Ryu's words to their grandfather? They were just happy they weren't punished. 

"… They seem to have gotten word?"

The Queen seemed to shift the subject completely.
