Sylas' answer was obviously no. But he didn't think that just saying his name would elicit the change. He certainly didn't feel it, which was odd considering the sensitivity of his senses.
That meant that whatever results saying his name triggered, it must have happened inside the body of whoever heard it, almost like a suppression of sorts.
It was odd, though. Sylas had had his Royal Line for quite a while, ever since he claimed the Woodland Territory. Right now he didn't have a Royal Line—he had a Royal Hero Line. It was on a completely different level.
But that didn't explain why they would attack him. No, more accurately, why a C-tier would suddenly go out of their way to attack him like this even at the risk of offending Gralith and Old Brama.
It was one thing if Sylas' peers killed him—that was perfectly allowed and wouldn't be pursued. The Beast Warlord Sanctum had many years of precedent for this, and everyone felt safe to do exactly that.
