"Tsk." A flicker of impatience flashed through Rui's expression. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised. There's no way that fellow would sit around in the Kandrian Empire when the true world exists."
"He left a cryptic message for you for when you woke up," Emperor Rael calmly remarked. "He said, 'tell him that my decision to act is not license for his lethargy. I expect him to dedicate himself to fulfilling his end of our pact.'"
Rui heaved a sigh. "I have racked up way too many commitments these days."
He hadn't forgotten the old promise he had made with the Divine Doctor.
In fact, he had hoped that the Unfolding itself would be the so-called illness of Gaia that the Divine Doctor insisted existed. If so, it would mean the issue was resolved since Sage Damian thoroughly destroyed the alien tree. If it were the case, it was impressive that the Divine Doctor was the only person to have mildly detected that the manifold existed, even if he had no idea what it was.
