"Valen, I don't have time for your silly games, leave before I ask my men to show you to the gates." Lord Edmund remarked sternly. It wasn't a surprising fact that his stepson wasn't welcome to his business, as Valen was considered an embarrassment to the Santino and Credan's reputation in Birhhan. Nobody took him seriously due to his gambling habits and whoring around the lands.

Valen's lips pulled up, "Father relax, I'm not here to disturb your business, I came here for a good reason today."

Lord Edmund raised an eyebrow in question, "What reason is that?"

Valen let out a sigh and said, "I visited the palace to greet everyone, but unfortunately, I overheard some distressing news. As a result, the Emperor instructed me to deliver this message to you."
