Chapter 463: Another Healing 1
"Are you the emperor of this empire?" Aldrian asked calmly.
The moment his eyes landed on the old man, he read his information and couldn’t help but notice his surname. With his cultivation level and age, Aldrian thought this old man might be the true emperor of the Atria Empire before the second prince’s coup.
"Raymond Atolia Rosalis," Aldrian thought.
The old man was actually a High Emperor stage cultivator, but he appeared extremely fragile, with a thin body and pale countenance. His condition reminded Aldrian of Pope Claudius before he healed him.
However, before the old man could answer, the butler standing beside the physician suddenly jumped in front of Aldrian, as if trying to protect the old man from him.
"What do you want? Isn’t your Excellency’s target that bastard? Why come here?" the butler asked in a firm voice.
Still, Aldrian could sense that the man was forcing himself to stay brave in front of him. His peak King stage cultivation was easy to sense. It was clear that he wanted to prove he was ready for anything and would not back down. The butler was even prepared to sacrifice himself for the old man, if it came to that.
Aldrian gave an inward nod, appreciating the butler’s determination. He had no intention of causing a misunderstanding, so he answered calmly.
"Relax. I don’t intend to harm him. I only came to see for myself the true emperor of this empire before the second prince’s coup. I want to know who the real ruler of the empire is, and perhaps build a relationship with him. If I intended to harm him, I would have already done so without any of you noticing."
Although what Aldrian said was humiliating, the butler couldn’t refute it. He still felt uneasy about Aldrian’s presence and wanted to drive him away. However, a voice from behind interrupted his thoughts.
"Daryl, you can stand down. What the young man said is true. If he wanted to harm me, he would have already done so long ago," the old man said in a slightly hoarse voice.
