Chapter 57: Reikern Aurspec (1/2), Monitor Dome

Inside the Aurspec clan's meeting hall, Aleron, Yueha, Rias, and Roxen sat at a table's south chairs while sitting across them were the Aurspec clan head and two of his nephews, James and Lake, along with a woman in her thirties, who was another Exceed-rank powerhouse and Melkern's niece.

Bergetta Rose sat on the east side of the table, internally sighing at this mess while also feeling pity for Melkern.

Knowing that both sons of Melkern's late wife turned out this way was devastating to everyone, but more to Melkern than anyone.

Melkern had already lost his daughter and first wife 50 years ago. Knowing the pain of loved ones' loss and treasuring their memories, Melkern handled this city in his care and was a good ruler to the people.

However, his sons turned out to be ruthless tyrants, killing and sacrificing innocents in pursuit of power by colluding with demons, which was akin to Melkern getting killed by his own sons.
