Chapter 229: Evelynn Rosetta's Smiling Face

Veridian City, the capital of the Valtara Empire, enshrouded in mystery,

Ever since Soren submitted his reports, Emperor Ronald's study had been consumed by silence, undisturbed by the empire's bustling activities beyond its grand doors. Seated alone at an intricately designed desk, the Emperor's unwavering focus was on the radiant gem nestled in his palm. This was not an ordinary ring; it carried the weight of generations, a bridge to a woman whose story remained hidden.

The ring itself was a genuine work of craftsmanship. Painstakingly crafted, it showcased intricate details, fashioned from precious materials. The slender metal band elegantly curved around the Emperor's finger, adorned with delicate patterns meticulously created by Evelynn herself.

He pressed his lips together as the silence settled in the room. It was as if the walls were holding their breath, showing their respect as they observed the Emperor lost in thought.
