“...Is that so,” Declan, the Archduke of Sword, stammered, looking dazed as he faced Leonard, who had returned not even a day after his visit. 0

His reaction was only natural. The Ancestor’s fragmented soul reaching its time limit was already alarming enough. Coupled with the fact that the Order of the Golden Dragon had just transitioned from mere consumables to a formidable force, either development alone would have been cause for immense concern. Having them both surface at once left Declan nearly reeling.0

“Can you truly control the Order of the Golden Dragon? Their power is immense, but since they didn’t earn it through their own efforts, it remains unstable. Part of the reason they’re confined to Dragon’s Head is their role as vessels, but also the fact that they’d be unpredictable on the battlefield.”0

If the Golden Dragon Knights were ever to go rogue, it would be impossible to quell them without a commander’s direct oversight.0

“On the outside, the Order of the Golden Dragon is known as the greatest knight order in the family, and in terms of sheer power, that reputation holds. Every member of our family, unaware of the truth, aspires and works hard to join the Order of the Golden Dragon. If so much as a hint about what lies beneath is revealed, it could cause some serious trouble.”0
