Two days passed where Gabriel remained in Elzeria like a guest. He was provided a house where he could spend some time with Ezekiel and confirm with his own eyes that this wasn't a trick.
Because the stakes were too high, the Emperor knew he couldn't send Gabriel on his mission without a solid plan. However, he also saw this as an opportunity to assess Gabriel's true capabilities to make sure that he was actually capable of defeating Karyk.
During the first morning, Ezekiel woke up. Gabriel told him everything that happened and how he was still alive. He also asked Ezekiel if everything that the Emperor told him was the truth or not.
Even Ezekiel was surprised to hear everything that took place in such a short span of time. He hadn't expected that he would ever open his eyes in this life, but because of Gabriel, he was still alive.
