Gravis always felt nervous when he asked the question of how his kids were.
"They've become Kings about 50 years ago and are currently stationed at a defensive line," the Empress said, making Gravis release a gigantic sigh of relief. They were still alive. Also, they were already Kings? Well, they are over a century old, so that was probably to be expected.
"So, this means I'm a grandfather now?" Gravis asked.
Azure only nodded. "Yes."
Gravis had no idea how to feel about that. A massive mix of emotions appeared inside his mind as he made several decisions.
'I can't come into contact with my grandchildren,' Gravis thought. 'My three children are already binding me to this world, and feeling a strong attachment to them can't be helped. Yet, as soon as I start getting attached to my grandchildren, this world might become too attached to me to the point that I might not leave.'
Gravis felt guilty when he decided that. Grandchildren were obviously still family. Yet, due to his own selfish goal, he had to keep his love for them to himself, even though they fully deserved this love based on his outlook and morals.
'If I get too attached, I will end up like Orpheus. I can't allow that to happen,' Gravis thought.
After a while, he turned to Azure again. "Which defensive line? I want to see them," he asked.
The Empress remained silent. She was probably asking some random elder about the information. After some seconds, a map appeared in Gravis' mind with one spot marked. This was probably the defensive line they had been assigned to.
"Thank you, Empress," Gravis said. "I will go there now."
"Gravis," Azure said before Gravis left. "After you're done, return to me. I have a special task for you."
Gravis' eyes shone a bit. "Oh? Okay, I will return quickly. It shouldn't take me more than a week."
"That's fine," Azure said.
Gravis nodded one last time to Azure and then flew towards the east. By now, Gravis was no longer unknown in the land beasts' camp. Additionally, there were now also several other beasts that looked like him. Due to these reasons, he didn't require a guide or escort anymore.
It wouldn't take long for him to get to the marked defensive line, a day perhaps.
