บท 876: Unsure

The day passed quickly, and the fortress was filled with excitement over the arrival of the apex of humanity. Ever since the Nexus event, Atticus Ravenstein had become a figure of legend, someone everyone wanted to meet, even if only once in their lives.

For many, what they had witnessed today would likely be the closest they would ever get to him. But none were complaining.

Atticus spent most of his time in his room, meditating in silence. He had arrived in the mid afternoon and politely declined any food or amenities, claiming he had already eaten before coming to the fortress.

However, as night fell, he decided to accept one act of hospitality.

A knock at his door broke his focus.

"The fortress commander would like to respectfully invite you to dinner, Apex Atticus," said the maid kneeling before him.

Atticus's eyes flickered open, landing on her. His gaze was sharp but calm. After a brief pause, he nodded slightly.
