Darian opened the door. Standing in front of him was a High Human he'd never seen before. He was a middle-aged man with short golden hair, dressed in elegant clothes.
"Hey, Darian. We haven't met yet. I'm William, a support from the Empire," he said kindly. "Rhea hired me to take care of an egg…"
Darian nodded as he remembered. That egg had been left in William's care — a very well-known support. According to Rhea, something was wrong with the fetus, and William had started studying it to find out the cause.
Darian invited him in and called everyone to the room. When they all gathered and saw William, an air of expectation filled the place.
The Empire's laws were pretty strict. Freon had taken the egg after his son returned from the mission where Oliver died.
After Raon lost it in the arena, he couldn't damage it without facing serious punishment. But if he'd done something before the bet — and could prove it — no one could hold him responsible.
