Chapter 59: The Empire, The Disease...
Helion’s head has been painful since this morning. He sent a letter using his bird to Acantha to ask for an apology for what his mother said and did to her.
He was disappointed with his mother, whom he knew liked Noraya for him, but that doesn’t mean she can just disrespect someone.
His mother really changed when she was involved with the Abellarde’s; she doesn’t listen to them anymore as she just only listens to them. This is what he and his father were sacred of—that someone will use his mother for their own benefit.
And now, it seems like she was being used for something again; he just had a report that the baron was using his mother’s name in getting some stones from different miners.
That bastard has even some letter from his mother; why does his mother give him a letter with her own seal?
She was not like this before; he doesn’t know what went wrong.
"Your highness, there is a problem; there are some problems." Helion looked at Jarnus as he looked at him, as he was sweating really hard.
"What was it?" He said as he lifted his eyes from the papers that he was reviewing and signing.
"The borders had been closed from south, north, and even east," Jarnus said as he looked worried about it.
He knew this would happen after what the duke said yesterday: Solaris was really powerful, and sometimes they were even seen as more powerful than them as they controlled almost everything.
But, unlike the Abellarde’s, who were power-hungry, Solaris, despite having the same standing and even more powerful than them when it comes to lineage and political power, remained as the loyal sword and shield of their Empire.
