Joshua turned around, his gaze falling upon his daughter.
"You are aware of the Crossbridge Empire situation, right?"
Fiona nodded slightly.
"Go to the Secondary Demon Realm," Joshua said.
"Make contact with this Crossbridge Empire and uncover their true intentions and background."
Fiona fell silent for a moment, understanding the deeper meaning behind her father's request.
"Father, are you still unwilling to accept it?" she asked softly.
Her gaze swept across the jade platform in the center of the secret chamber, where a feather glowed faintly with divine light.
Joshua sighed deeply, his voice tinged with both fatigue and determination.
"Fiona, my daughter, we have already been drawn into this conflict. It is no longer possible for us to stay out of it."
"My actions are not just for the council, but to find a potential path for you as well."
"This Crossbridge Empire... it might just be the opportunity to break the deadlock."
