Chapter 123: Rumors of Separation
publish date:
2026-01-17 04:58:18The rumors did not arrive loudly.

A Contract The Empire Couldn't Break Chapter 704: Marcus at Ease
Marcus arrived without scanning exits.The realization struck him halfway across Florentis Courtyard, subtle enough that he almost missed it. His shoulders were loose. His stride unmeasured.
