"Thank you, General Augustus. As far as I'm concerned, I have fondness for the Sword Bearers. I think, if the Empire permits, I will try to stay with the Sword Bearers for a while longer, at least for some more time," Rein said with a smile.

Imperial City Tamriel.
Within the Second Prince Mansion located on the left side of the Imperial Palace.
A middle-aged noble with a mustache was standing respectfully beside a blond man with an elegant yet somewhat sinister demeanor, reporting something:
"Your Highness, an urgent report has just arrived from a spy; Rein has returned from the Secret Realm, and more critically, he obtained the Void Dragon Blood Essence that you had arranged Barnes and the others to acquire."
"He returned so quickly? According to the timeline, only a few hours have passed. There is still more than half of the time left before the 24-hour Secret Realm Re-test ends."
