PS: Refer to Chapter 52 (You will be my wife) for Zircon's first appearance. And then chapters 108 and 109 for the POV on Vale.
Zircon Valean, the second legitimate son of the high lord, and a peculiar character with a penchant to do the abrupt and unknown walked down the long-winding steps that led to the Akira tribe's shrine.
In their last meeting with his royal father, Zircon had felt utterly humiliated when their father asked them to present their progress at invading Dragonia—but his embarrassment would not run for so long.
His elder brother might have presented something, but Zircon would ensure that he remained at the top in their dangerous tug of power.
"Announce to Head Akira that I have come to see her," Zircon said to the servant.
"Who shall I say has come to see her?" The servant responded, peering at the cloaked man.
