Sage noticed that Emperor Frederick was preventing his wife, Empress Mary, from moving forward.
Following Sage's instructions, Mage Luke went to intervene with Empress Mary and Emperor Frederick. However, Mage Luke was unaware that Emperor Frederick was halting Empress Mary to discuss Kyra about Sage's curse.
Mage Luke said nothing and walked toward her room. As he approached, he saw Emperor Frederick and Empress Mary excusing themselves. When they walked out of her room, they were surprised to see him standing at the door.
Emperor Frederick gestured for Mage Luke to follow as he held his wife's shoulders and guided her toward their room. Empress Mary inquired about why he stopped her, but he remained silent and continued walking.
As Sage left his room to speak with them, he took a deep breath and prepared himself for the conversation ahead.
