Leaving the Sub-Dimension

After Emily introduced Leonardo to the upper echelons of her Qing Sector, under the disbelieving gaze of everyone, she allowed him to occupy her seat of power as she left the great all. 

This action of hers served a two-fold purpose. 

First, she wanted everyone to know that despite being an attendant, in her eyes, he had a higher position than everyone present; the military advisor included. 

Second, this was a subtle apology for having Leonardo stand behind her this entire time, let alone the way the military advisor coerced him to speak up by using Emily's name as a medium. 

With him seated above, this was a clear remark to the military advisor to watch his position and not to give instructions to Leonardo, be it openly or covertly. 

The military advisor didn't care much and smiled it off. However, his students thought of it otherwise.
