Chapter 331: He Wants to See You
Aldrian did not disturb Claude, allowing him time to process his emotions and thoughts. At a time like this, it was not appropriate for him to offer his opinion, as this was an internal struggle for Claude. He could only hope that Claude would make a good decision, even if it left scars on his heart.
He did not want to leave a variable like Princess Loraine alone without a decisive resolution. She was someone already deeply connected to the devils and had committed many acts that harmed the innocent. She was also at the stage of being madly in love with the deceased Lust Devil. Once she learned of the Lust Devil’s fate, he could imagine she would do anything to take revenge against him.
He could perhaps erase her memories of the Lust Devil, but that would not erase her past sins. Moreover, the Duclan family believed in him and trusted that the princess would receive her judgment. It would not be fair to Princess Loraine’s victims if he simply let her get away with it.
After more than half an hour, Claude finally returned to the room and stood near Aldrian before saying something that made Aldrian raise his eyebrows.
"I’ve already informed my father about our conversation and your achievements. He wants to see you in the imperial palace. Right now," he said.
Aldrian had not expected Prince Claude to inform the emperor about their conversation. If the emperor wanted to see him, then this was also his chance to establish a connection with the absolute ruler of the empire.
"Alright, lead the way."
After that, they left the private room and walked toward the nearest teleportation station. The situation in Larson City was still quite hectic because of what had happened a few hours ago, but it didn’t really affect Aldrian or Claude, aside from the crowded teleportation station. Many people were still pouring into the city to witness the scene.
After waiting for a while, they were finally able to enter the teleportation portal leading to the capital of the Vindas Empire, Finna.
-------------------------
Once they stepped out of the teleportation portal, Aldrian was greeted by a new scene filled with luxurious buildings and the bustling activity of the capital city. Since Claude was still in disguise, the people did not realize that the prince of the empire had just stepped out of the teleportation portal, and no one knew Aldrian’s face.
