"So that's what happened," Vyaghra sighed as Taranis explained the Complete Rejuvenation Technique to him. "How long will it take for Her Majesty's intelligence to return?"
"I'm not sure," Taranis replied, shaking his head. "It should take less than a year, though."
Vyaghra furrowed his brows in thought. "Will you be ruling the Western Continent in her absence?"
"Absolutely not!" Taranis responded instantly. "The dragons here are merely guests, and they will remain that way. Ume must have appointed someone to act as her proxy in her absence. Let them rule. I will not meddle in the affairs of the Nine Tails Empire unless something goes against Ume's principles."
Vyaghra merely nodded. He had already expected such an answer from Taranis. It was his selfless nature towards those close to him that earned Vyaghra's profound respect.
"Lord Mriga is the proxy. I will inform him of Her Majesty's condition," Vyaghra replied with a slight bow before vanishing into his shadows.
