The information gleaned from his [Soul Mirror] skill gave him an invaluable head start, not on the Emperor, but on the true power behind the scenes. The assassin's flight confirmed that this secret was vital.
"The Emperor is someone else's puppet..." he muttered, clenching his fists.
Nox stood up, disregarding the pursuit. The assassin was a pawn, and so was the Emperor. Now he knew that with what he knew, he was no longer safe in any empire.
But this was not a problem for Nox, as he already had a solution.
"Pursuing is not necessary. The assassin will return if he's a professional, but his mission failed. Tilda is the priority. I should go to Ralia to explain everything to her; if I don't get there quickly, Lyra and Tilda risk taking initiatives that could harm my escape plan and put them in danger."
He headed towards the dungeon exit, ignoring the panicked screams of the other prisoners.
