The Emperor finished his food and sent the Empresses away.
Getting to his quarters, it hit him…
"Where is Ezra?"
Bolton came to his aid, whispering to him the answer.
At the same time, Bolton took the chance to tell the Emperor of Ezra's acquisition of Skyfall.
The Emperor's eyes widened and he turned to face Bolton with a fiery expression.
"When did this happen? And why wasn't I told sooner"
Bolton stepped back.
"Seven years ago,"
"That's-"
"Yes sire, it happened on the eve of war, the same day you left"
"Call him here" the Emperor huffed.
"As you wish" Bolton swiftly moved.

Ezra stood in front of his father with his hands behind his back.
"My boy. You have grown"
Ezra shook his head.
"Father, it's all thanks to you"
"You've even gotten better at using your tongue"
"Sir?"
"Never mind"
The Emperor went straight to the topic at hand.
"Now, Bolton tells me you have bonded with Skyfall, is this true?"
Ezra nodded.
"Show it to me"
