GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Her voice is no longer pleasant to listen to. It is now chilling to the bone. The brightness of the star formed a sharp contrast to the chill that her presence was emitting.

The star continued to speak. "You better be ready for the full consequence of your next words because I shall not hold back if you say them. I shall not hold back to punish you for any disrespect to my person."

The star was changing as it spoke. First, it expanded. It seemed to balloon in size. Then it unfurled to reveal its true nature. The spherical covering around the star separated into 9 great tails. 

The tails are so large that they give the impression that the star is very big. Those tails are attached to a smaller being. It is a giant yellow-furred fox about 50 meters tall but her tails are much longer. 

Other Warrogs have rough and rugged forms like those of bulls but this one has the form of a fox. She also has two white great antlers on its head instead of horns and she has hooves for all four of her feet instead of paws on her front limbs to further differentiate her from other Warrogs. 

This great beast was floating in the air and looking down on Fenrir as it rebuked him. Her 9 tails moved around as if moved by the wind. The light in the surroundings is coming out of her. That's why she looks like a star. She is a thing of ethereal beauty and form but none of that beauty can be seen now. Chilling anger is radiating outwards from her. The stern look in her glaring white eyes is very intimidating.

"You should know your place Fenrir. The world is bigger than what you think. Notions of honor and respect are for those who care about the opinions of others. The opinion of others does not matter right now. We are on a sinking ship. I am doing everything I can to keep the ship afloat. That includes tossing over unnecessary cargo."

"You do not need to respect me or like me for it. I do not need that from you. But you will watch the words you speak to me. This world is bigger than you. I am bigger than you. Do you understand me?"

The two Emperors stared at each other for a while. None of them relented until Fenrir spoke.

"They had hope and you threw away their hope. They had faith in you but you disregarded their faith. Hope is precious and Faith is fragile. Remember that. To lose it is to become no different from your selfish Executioner. He also sacrificed members of his race for power. Look how that turned out for him?" Fenrir said. Then he turned away.

He turned away and left back the way he came. He has said all he can say without jeopardizing his life. Rinoz knew of Lamplard's existence. She knew of his hopes and dreams. She knew what Ragnarok did to Lamplad and what Lamplad wanted from her. And yet she led him and his group on a wild goose chase. She used her connection with him to fool him. She led him by the nose all over the plane. He didn't know that he was being tricked by the being he had faith in. 

Rinoz did the same to many Warrogs looking for their Emperor who was to save them. She did it to fool the Vampires and keep herself hidden while she grew in peace. She didn't need to. The light she produces is enough to protect her from the Vampires. But she wanted to be extra sure of her safety. After all, Vampires wield more power than their undead selves. And those sources of power are not vulnerable to light. 

It is a smart thing to prioritize personal safety. But that's not the only reason why she did what she did. She doesn't want to expose her ability yet so that the Vampires won't be able to find a way to counter her. So she sacrificed Lamplard for her protection. 

It was not only Lamplard that was sacrificed. All the Warrog settlements that Lamplard passed by when searching for the Emperor were also raided by the Vampires. They too were killed. The Emperor who is supposed to save and protect them actually led predators to their doorstep so that they would be killed in their sleep.

Fenrir doesn't like what she did at all. Rinoz may be smart but she is dishonorable and wicked. Sacrifice is inevitable in war but she didn't need to make the sacrifice she did. She simply wanted to for assurance. That is not a trait that an Emperor should have.

He is rightly angry, but he can't stop the sacrifices from happening because he is not strong enough to sway her. And he is certainly not strong enough to stop her. That is despite not being a weakling himself.

He looked through this weird construct that appeared when he was in prison. It tells him his strength which is a good thing, but at first, he thought he was going mad. It is only now that he knows that it is not unique to him. Almost, everyone in the realm has it.

It is obvious that he is not the weak obsolete Emperor he made himself look to Ragnarok. He is a king of law and he could have released himself from the shackles in the prison without Ragnarok's help.
