The night had been an eventful one, and an educational one. He'd learned a lot, and had many of his questions answered - the one about the Monarch's Dominion being one of them! So, as it turned out, after their first month was over would be when they were officially told during an assembly, but it was an open secret anyway so many people knew about it already!
The answer was simple - it was just one that Nero had thought impossible. The Dominion at the Sage level existed because there was a Sage Monarch serving as the Head Dean of the academy! To be specific, this would make the seventh Sage of Kolar!
Before Nero could be completely overwhelmed by the news, Silas also explained that the Sage was kept alive through artificial means, and could not leave this region for whatever reason. That was why the academy had been built here. In fact, the exact size of the academy had been dictated by the size of his Dominion!
