Chapter 537: Return to Dongtian City
At Dongtian City, inside one of the inns, Sylphia was in her room with the Fifth Finger. She was growing anxious over the news about what had happened on the border between Flamecrest and Rivas.
Updates kept reaching her, as the Thunderous Shadow Pavilion had also begun using their own methods to establish communication lines and had arrived at the meeting area to serve as eyes and ears.
Everyone around her was already talking about the breaking news, which had brought most people’s activities to a stop. The parents of that sensational figure turned out to be two individuals from opposing families? It was truly spicy news.
No one had ever heard of any closeness or reconciliation between Flamecrest and Rivas—let alone a marriage—so this might be one of the possibilities many had already guessed.
Aldrey and Irene had Aldrian without the knowledge of their respective families, which caused stories about them to run wild. Since when had they met like that? Since when had they fallen in love with each other? How could they have had Aldrian without anyone knowing? So many questions had come up, each becoming a topic worth talking about.
"The Evergreen Imperial Family just arrived at the meeting place," the Fifth Finger reported after hearing from the communication artifact in her hand.
"The one who came is Emperor Ladwin himself."
Sylphia was stunned for a moment, but then she sighed. Of course her father would come. This was about Aldrian and his parents, after all. She could already imagine how frustrated he would feel later, realizing that he had known nothing about Aldrian’s parents while some of the imperial families from other empires already knew.
"Dear, I hope you can come back as soon as possible."
This wasn’t something she could keep from Aldrian, even if she wanted to. Although she might be interrupting his business with the Xin family, it concerned his parents—he had to know. This was also the moment Aldrian had long anticipated, and he might have to handle it personally.
Suddenly, two figures appeared right inside her room. She was slightly startled, but she smiled as she looked at one of them.
