Chapter 406: The Spirit of Great Path
Once the nobleman arrived at the front door of the mansion, the carriage door opened, and his guardian knight stepped down, followed by the nobleman himself. A maid was already standing in front of the door, but even from outside, it was clear that she did not appreciate their arrival. Without much regard, she turned away and said,
"Follow me."
The nobleman, already in a foul mood, grew even more irritated. Her indifferent and disrespectful attitude made his anger flare, but he forced himself to remain composed and followed her, his guardian knight trailing behind.
They were led to the guest room, where a man was already seated on the sofa, leisurely sipping his tea, as if he had been expecting them.
At first, they were confused upon seeing the young man. Who is he? But their question was soon answered when the maid bowed to him.
"My lord, they are here."
Aldrian nodded. "Good. You may return to your post."
The maid bowed once more before retreating without sparing a single glance at the envoy from the second prince.
As the door closed, sealing the room for a more private conversation, the envoy remained frozen in astonishment. Even though they had already knew that the mysterious swordsman was a young man, seeing Aldrian in person was an entirely different matter.
They still couldn’t believe that someone so young could possess the power to shake the entire empire. His achievements were spoken of everywhere, leaving no doubt about his strength. However, how could he have accomplished all that at such a young age? Was he just an old man in disguise?
"Have a seat, gentlemen. I doubt you came all this way just to stand there speechless and waste my time."
