It was no surprise that Leon found the news hard to believe or accept.

As a fellow warrior, Konstantin understood the shattering feeling of having one’s faith collapse. So he refrained from any mocking comments.

Besides, he was curious about what choice Leon would make next—would he continue to outwit the empire, or would he upend the board entirely and go head-to-head with the powers in charge?

“So that’s the whole story?” he asked.

“It’s all I know,” Konstantin replied calmly, crossing his arms. “Ever since I learned about the Far North, I suspected the empire had even deeper dealings with other Dragon Kings.”

Leon nodded. “Regardless, thank you for telling me.”

“We’re hardly in a position to be grateful to one another, Cosmod. As you yourself said, the empire is a shared enemy right now. And you did stop an all-out war against my clan at the Dragon King meeting.”

Konstantin paused. “So, consider us even.”

Leon’s eyes flickered, but he left it at that.

“Nothing else?” Konstantin asked.
