章 97: Chapter 97: Arthur Pendragon... Choose..:

"This shall be his punishment. So until then... Let him enjoy the wealth and start a family."

Duchess Cynthia still remembered that perverted smile on Duke Rezian's face as he told her about his plans.

"You helped me a lot this time." Duke Rezian further stated, changing the topic. "When I return, I will make sure to send you some gifts worth your time."

Duke Rezian was like a walking treasure chest. After the Emperor, he was the richest and unlike the emperor, he wasn't aloof. He knew how to stay in people's good books.

That evening, Duchess Cynthia threw a banquet for Duke Rezian, inviting many officials from the city. Her palace was lit up with light while Raven's room was filled with darkness.
