Graces smoothly signed the alliance agreement with the head of the Empire.
Once everything was finalized, the Alliance Army's move to the Imperial Star became a certainty.
However, there were still some loose ends to tie up before they could enter the Imperial Star—namely, Lustan.
Graces had long been wary of Lustan, and as it turned out, his intuition was correct. After Admiral Snop departed, Lustan seized the opportunity to win over some of the high-ranking officers remaining at the Alliance Army base, attempting to reclaim command from Graces.
'He always knew Lustan's ambition had never died.'
News of the unrest at the Alliance Army base reached Graces while he was already on his return journey.
Upon hearing the news, Admiral Snop contacted Graces immediately. "Are you sure you'll be alright going back now?"
Graces wasn't taking many people with him, and the admiral was worried he wouldn't be able to handle the situation.
