After the meeting ended, Daphne left the Dimension Ascension Laboratory with Director Eno's orders.
In the lounge of a light battlecruiser, Daphne's mind was still swirling with the voices she had just heard.
Those, those elders who truly held all the resources of this Empire, and could replace an Emperor at any time, appeared right before her eyes, using projections to be present in the meeting room.
Moreover, those elders all saw her, the young Princess of this Empire.
At that moment, Daphne felt as if her previous life had been lived in vain.
These elders, some of whom were long reported dead, yet still lived, their lifespans already exceeding three or four hundred years... Director Eno was actually the junior...
In the just-concluded meeting, the elders discussed only three topics.
First, whether the White Ghost should be killed or spared, and if killed, how to kill.
Second, the new candidate for the next Emperor and how to proceed with Ghali's neutralization.
