Marshal Horatio's study was the largest area in the manor, with various books piled up like mountains. Though not neatly arranged, they were covered in labels.
"Would you like coffee or tea?"
Darren pondered for a moment, then said with a smile,
"Hmm, I'll choose tea."
Marshal Horatio nodded gently and waved his hand; soon, an alchemical fairy appeared, carrying tea and coffee which it handed to Darren and him respectively.
"Let's continue then."

The Lorne Empire would not directly deploy any soldiers or Extraordinary Exponents in the war, because such an action would likely provoke the Seven Suns Empire People to enter the fray directly, ultimately leading to an even larger scale conflict.
