Jeremiah's words lingered on his lips, but in the end, he held them back. However, that brief moment of hesitation didn't escape Salvador's notice.

Salvador smiled and said, "The Hell Monarch has already accomplished the great feat of reclaiming the Southern Frontier and driving the Sandorian forces out of Starhaven. It's time for those beneath him to rise as well. I believe Rafael would be willing to give them that opportunity. As a leader, one must know how to recognize and use talent."

"Your words are wise, Your Majesty," Jeremiah responded.

After considering it carefully, Jeremiah knew the Hell Monarch's return to the capital would be for the best. While he could secure more benefits and reparations from Sandoria through negotiations, Salvador's health was always in question.

The capital needed the Hell Monarch to maintain order and stability.

Once Jeremiah had left, Salvador fell into silence for a long moment before turning to Derek. "I also wish for their reunion soon. It's been far too long since they've been apart."

Derek lowered his eyes. "You're compassionate, Your Majesty."

Salvador's silence continued, the joy of victory slowly fading as unease settled within him. He knew he always had to say things he didn't mean and do things that went against his heart, but he had no choice.
