Chapter 57 Imperial Palace

• Kendrick turns to the empress trying to understand why she doesn't know what they are talking about. The emperor makes a signal to all the kings to enter the great hall of the assemblies, which they do without changing their distrustful and threatening attitude. At the same time they all maintain a somewhat fearful attitude before the silver empress Zelda who follows them, listening to what he said.
• "She stole all the power from the shrines of our clans!" Shouts a huge coppery dragon.
• "I didn't!" steps forward Empress Zelda, irising herself in all her splendour and confronts him. "Don't tell me you didn't feel it when I was sending you your power, King Antinomian? You must have felt it. I have been protecting them from here and I have not failed to keep them strong. I repeat: someone was trying to steal your powers and I just moved them here!"
