After hearing Leo Stowe's reassurance, Raffia asked quietly.
"I've seen the Unity True God's power for myself."
"But the Light Empire seems to be struggling just to survive. Does he really have the time and strength to help us?"
Leo Stowe replied confidently, "You can count on it!"
As they spoke, the communicator rang.
Raffia picked it up and heard the voice of her father, Winster, the reigning emperor of the Redstone Empire.
