Lirian had made up his mind on this matter, there was no way that he was about to start apologizing to an enemy.

He went down to see his mother but she was busy, even more so than usual, it was several times worse than it had been the last time he caused a stir.

He had no doubt that Anya had told her everything he had said in the past days, and everything that he said would make its way to her ears eventually.

He knew that it must be tearing her heart every time she heard something new from Anya, but he had already made his intentions as clear as day, when the chance presented itself he would kill Telamon without hesitation.

The dinner he agreed to was just his way of being respectful of her wishes, she had a foolish hope that it could resolve all their problems, but she didn't know that she was setting Telamons farewell feast, or she knew what Lirian's intentions were and continued to blindly hope for something good to happen.

Lirian sighed thoughtfully, sometimes it was best to rip the bandaid off in a single go and he'd be sure to do it for his mother, even if she didn't want it.

That evening when he returned home, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, all day he felt like he was going through interrogation after interrogation, and he was forced to hear a hundred different people, 'advise him to give an apology to Telamon.'

He shut, himself in his room and began to listen to few new pieces of the Uldwin family's rebellion, during the day the only productive thing he managed to do was have a talk with Damien Uldwin in his class, it wasn't like he knew all the details about his families past but his point of view as someone from that family was invaluable.

The main thing that he knew was about the falling status of his family, they were a super world with strong ties to many other big families, it was only due to those ties that there were any survivors of their family, but at the same time they were degraded to lesser world, but they managed to upgrade their status since then to become a high world.

The Uldwin family in the past had come up with an ingenious plan to rebel, they built up a huge army and got the support of hundreds of other worlds in its creation, and they used the excuse of creating a huge army to launch an expedition into the heart of the old Golgoth empire.

While they were secretly planning to set a solid foundation in there to set up their own power far away from the empire where they could grow unchecked, most of the families supporting them knew of this and fully supported it, as it was a good opportunity to build up their own powers in secret.

Due to this it was impossible for the empire to lay any allegations against them, after all there was no one willing to speak out against the Uldwin family's plans, as it was a win-win situation for everyone.

It was during this time that Alfred Dao, the twin brother of Emperor Albert Clovis went to the Uldwin family to make them reconsider their actions.

Just because they didn't have any actual proof about the Uldwin family's rebellion, didn't mean that they couldn't see what was going on.

If such a large fleet tried to leave without the express permission of the emperor, they would have to erase it, and that would create a great deal of tension in the empire and most certainly lead to a civil war, things were looking dire at the time and the Uldwin family had been very careful not to break any of the laws so far, even a small mistake would have had consequences.

It was a short while before the fleets departure, when the emperors brother Alfred Dao had been assassinated, and it gave the emperor all the justification he needed to lash out at the Uldwin family.

The news of Alfred's death had startled all the families involved and they quickly withdrew their support of the Uldwin family's campaign, they knew that with the emperor's brother's death they had all the justification they needed to destroy the fleet without facing any consequences.

The families would have lost everything they built and they would have been labeled as traitors had they continued to support the Uldwin family.

While the Uldwin family claimed innocence, no one believed them, to add fuel to the fire, the empire released a statement about a set of threats that Alfred had sent to Uldwin family before they assassinated him.

The funny thing about that which Lirian learnt from Damien was that the Uldwin family, claimed to have received no such threats even to this day, their family insisted that they had never seen such a threat.

From there on it was Telamon that handled the matter resolving all the problems, and finally there were a few things mentioned about how the emperor had changed after the incident, his personality completely changed and he acted like a normal leader instead of an eccentric one.

Then a year after he passed on the throne, he committed suicide.

Lirian fell in to contemplation, as he listened to the details about what happened after, there was a lot that was up to one's imagination, and he started to make some insane speculations, and slowly he narrowed it down with the help of the system constantly checking his conjectures, it was unfortunately very costly on his fate particles.

Each conjecture cost him 50 billion fate particles, but after a couple tens of attempts he narrowed it down to something very interesting.

Just as he started to look forward to the coming dinner, he got a message from his mom, telling him that Telamon delayed the dinner until after the expedition was completed.

He sighed and decided to take a much-needed break.

He wondered just what kind of traps Telamon would set for him on this trip, he had no doubt that Telamon wanted to use this opportunity kill him.

"Oh, Telamon you are a fool if you think that, you can win against me," he murmured softly with a grin.
