Chapter 232: ‘Bringing In’ the Imperial Family
Hector frowned when he heard the word ’devils.’ It was one thing that always frustrated him—how they never ceased to disrupt the peace of the Doria Empire. His frustration had only grown recently, especially after discovering the high possibility of traitors within their ranks collaborating with the devils. This war had become a wake-up call, exposing hidden problems within the empire.
Aldrian’s arrival here, coupled with matters involving the devils, had to be significant, and Hector expression turned serious.
Aldrian observed Hector and Lorenzo’s reactions, carefully assessing their intent. Fortunately, they did not seem to harbor any feelings or intentions that might suggest collusion with the devils. Aldrian reminded himself that he could not always rely solely on his instincts or his understanding of karma laws—it would be arrogant to do so.
"Sir Aldrian, please tell me—if this is about the devils, I will gladly assist you. This aligns not only with the interests of the imperial family but, more importantly, with the well-being of the people of this empire," Hector said in an upright tone.
"To be honest, what I am about to tell you is something I hope you can convey to the imperial family. It concerns the future of this empire and the entire continent," Aldrian said, prompting a serious response from Hector.
"If what Sir Aldrian wishes to share is truly important, then I have no problem conveying it to His Majesty. As I said, I will do my best to assist you, Sir Aldrian," Hector replied.
"Alright, the reason I came to this city is to uproot the traitors within the Alchemist Association." Aldrian said.
Hector’s eyes widened in shock.
"There are traitors in the Alchemist Association?" he exclaimed.
