Chapter 199
What Emotion Is. (5)
House Askar, Yulian’s family, had long stood at the forefront of racial division and discrimination. It was the way of their house, passed down for generations.
Pure Aran.
House Askar’s hereditary traits were especially pronounced, so most of their bloodline had blond hair and golden eyes. Yulian did, and so did his younger brother Leon.
But Yulian, at least Yulian himself, may have harbored deep doubts about that blood-purity ideology.
When the attendant who had cared for him so tenderly as a child was beaten to death simply for having mixed subspecies blood.
When the nanny who had raised him like a mother was miserably thrown out of the estate for being of another race.
At those moments, Yulian may have sensed that the order of both the Empire and his house was wrong.
After entering Empire Point, he met a man named Ashton. Perhaps Ashton had approached him deliberately. The eldest son of House Askar was the ideal target for Izenheim to use.
