Kapitel 198: Bastard

In front of the main door of the manor, Aldrich was standing to the right of Earl Drago, while Trifon was on Drago's left.

All local Barons from Planet Rosalia had already arrived and they were lining up on one side of the pavement leading up to the trio. Standing on the other side of the pavement were a few white cladded men and women. They were the members of the side branch of House Venomous Rose. The absence of Trifon's cousins from the main branch could be seen as the sheer amount of fear on their pale faces.

And the wrath of this fear fell on Aldrich's shoulders.

All knew that this white-haired man was nothing but a product of Trifon's one-night outing. He didn't even have red hair, a trait of all members of the House. The mask on his face seemed an insult, and the way he carried himself felt superfluous.

Not caring about these gazes, Ancient Oracle's words had still occupied Aldrich's thoughts regarding the King Mana Core.
