Verita looked up at Lunox with tearful, pitiful eyes, pleading for a solution.
Lunox was known among people as a fixer. Whenever they asked him about a troublesome matter, he answered without hesitation, and following his advice made the problems disappear.
Verita, too, always sought Lunox’s counsel when she faced issues. In truth, it was merely his bold, carefree responses that coincidentally turned out to be revolutionary.
“Hmm.”
Lost in thought, stroking his chin slowly, Lunox raised his eyebrows and looked down at her.
“Write to Devon, asking for help. He’s due to return soon.”
“Yes, that seems best, doesn’t it?”
“Until then, how about staying with Countess Antara Diem, Devon’s mother? She turns a blind eye to Devon’s affair and has even built a friendship with you, his partner.”
“But my sister will be even angrier…”
“Just find a way to appease her anger.”
Verita’s eyes widened, like lanterns. She gazed at Lunox in awe, as if hearing a divine answer, her eyes sparkling like moonlight on a lake.
“Lunox, how can you be so wise? Yes, you’re right. My sister is just upset now, she’ll forgive me like always.”
Ha-ha. Exactly. Lunox patted the back of Verita, who was laughing brightly in his embrace.
Despite the gentle smile on his face, his red eyes held a cunning glint.
Ah, how foolish.
Verita was always this naive. That’s why she was never boring to watch.
She wallowed in self-pity, old enough but still deluded that she needed protection.
She took for granted everyone’s affection and love, being endlessly lenient with her own mistakes.
Look at her now, repaying a lifetime of kindness with betrayal, yet shamelessly crying.
Internally scoffing, Lunox narrowed his eyes.
“Everything will be alright, Verita.”
“Thank you, Lunox. I hope Etrisha, my sister, soon calms down and accepts Devon and me. It’s a solution that would make everyone happy.”
Etrisha? Lunox twitched his black eyebrows.
That name sounded familiar.
Thinking deeply, Lunox chuckled dismissively, unconcerned with anything but his amusement.
Deciding that staying any longer with the foolish Verita would taint him, he left the mansion under the pretext of meeting his mistress.
Edmund swiftly passed between the lined columns, stopping at the bottom of the dais, hand over his heart, bowing deeply.
As a servant drew back a thin curtain, warm sunlight spilled onto a man seated on a throne.
His appearance was of a middle-aged man, but his chilly, bright eyes held the spirit of his younger days as a firm victor in political strife.
As Edmund was about to speak emotionlessly, the emperor raised his hand to stop him.
“The first words I want to hear from a hero returning after nine years shouldn’t be dull formalities.”
Lazily lifting his eyelids, Edmund glanced at the emperor’s feet and then fixed his gaze on the carpet.
“I’ve come to claim the price of a promise.”
“Ha!”
The emperor burst into a hearty laugh, stroking his chin. Indeed, it was a satisfying first statement.
The emperor squinted at Edmund, illuminated by the chandelier’s light.
The place where the monsters appeared was below the northernmost highlands, in the thick, green Jeder Forest.
About nine years ago, the monsters engulfed a village nearby.
Forming a monster-hunting squad to tackle the nuisance was challenging as no suitable leader volunteered.
When the Mage Tower announced the monsters’ ranks and difficulty level of the hunt, even renowned knights instinctively shied away.
Then, shortly after his appointment, a young knight volunteered to lead the squad.
The Miphidian Duke, Edmund Miphidian, a legitimate member of the Ducal family, was infamously dubbed as the ‘eagle chick with clipped wings.’
“Please return it to me, for I will definitely subdue the forest’s monster.”
“Oh? What would that be?”
“Please restore my power as the lost Duke of Miphidian.”
With a spirit burning like fire in his icy golden eyes, the young knight bowed to the Emperor, adding a condition to protect his sister from his uncle until his return.
The Emperor, empathizing with the boy’s dire and pitiful state, had no choice but to accept his proposal.
When the boy turned 13, a bloodbath erupted overnight in the Empire’s sole Ducal castle. Monsters manifested in the Ducal territory had devoured the Duke and Duchess Miphidian and their servants.
The only survivors were the siblings of the Miphidian Ducal family. Edmund, a witness, testified that the monster had transformed into a human. While everyone was dubious and astir, the trusted uncle submitted a psychiatric report in court, claiming that the nephew was suffering from mental delusion due to shock.
Thus, the case was left unresolved, and Edmund was stripped of his hereditary rights through a family council.
As the Emperor had no authority over internal family matters, he could only observe silently.
About a year later, Edmund volunteered as the commander of a monster-hunting squad, and after nine years, the fallen eagle chick had learned to fly, soaring into the sky, appearing before them.
