Emilia's hands trembled in her lap. She clasped them together, trying to stop the shaking, but her fingers continued to twitch.
Terra glanced at her before speaking.
"Godric Ravenscroft committed something truly abominable. It turns out he wasn't as righteous as everyone says. Even he made a mistake, and that one mistake could have led to the bloodiest conflict in the Empire's history."
Terra leaned closer and lowered her voice, whispering the truth into Emilia's ear.
The moment she finished, Emilia's eyes widened.
Her lips parted slightly, but for several seconds, no words came out.
"How could he do something so foolish..."
"That's not all. There's more."
Terra brought a hand toward her mouth as she spoke, her voice dropping as though she were sharing some terrible secret.
"Apparently, Damon Grey knows, and strangely enough, he did nothing."
"That's impossible."
Emilia whispered the words immediately.
She knew Damon very well.
