Prince Alard Van Hale

Not even a day had passed since he returned to Emerido but Crown Prince Hemeri had already started looking for an exceptional physician who might be able to treat his cousin. Andry took the order from him and carried out the task in secret with the Black Guards helping him.

It was lunchtime and the Crown Prince was alone in his chamber when he had a visitor. Perhaps the visitor could even be the most welcomed Emeridorean in Hemeri's chamber apart from his parents. The visitor was General Xarian, Hemeri's only friend and the son of Duke Hythe, one of the most powerful officials of the empire. The Hythes were also Hemeri's allies who always supported him.
