Chapter 508: Don't Worry, It's Just A Flesh Wound

(Random bar patron POV)

Alria town. 

It's an unremarkable place on the map of this world.

There's absolutely nothing that stands out in this place at all, not the people, not the buildings, not the goods, nothing.

Anyone who passes through this town probably would forget about it a few days later, that's just how unremarkable this place was.

But this unremarkable place actually hides a secret that few knows.

The ruler of this town, Baroness Tian, had always been dissatisfied with the current monarchy. She believed that she should be a Duchess at least but she was snubbed because of her relatively normal background.

Any attempts at climbing the ranks had been met with failure, it was as though someone in the court did not want her to succeed.

She then decided that if she could not achieve the authority she wanted within the Nobles' circle, she would find the respect she yearned amongst the underground circle instead.
