[Capital of Eryndor]
Aiden was in his room, looking at the large clipboard in front of him.
On the board, there were several names: Valerie, Austin, Eryndor, Council, and Hener.
His plans were simple: first, resolve the situation with Drenovar using Hener's help, and while he does so, he would get rid of Austin. And then using his influence, he would somehow get close to Valerie—a person who would become an influential figure in the future with her connection with the Council.
Through Valerie, Aiden would build connections with the Council, and with Hener, Aiden was planning on starting a very profitable business to boost Eryndor's vaults.
His plans were all set and he had already arranged people who would be useful in his venture.
However, his impulsive decision of poisoning the king and failing at it, increased difficulty. Although Hener helped him by throwing the bait of disowning Austin, the sick king has yet to make up his mind.
