Alaric Meets Azazel

After Anton learned his daughter was pregnant, he no longer climbed the sacred mountain as he had in the past few weeks. He became more conscious of his health and even participated in some physical activity to keep himself fit.

Alaric had already received a letter about the events that happened in the city, but he still told William to give him a report of the situation.

William recounted everything that occurred without skipping any details.

"…that was what happened, my lord."

Alaric frowned as he rubbed his chin. "To think that the Grand Duke is actually involved with this kind of illegal activities."

The Grand Duke was a member of the imperial family and he wielded immense power and authority within the empire. So why did he risk his reputation to establish the Crimson Tower?
