章 205: Unexpected Betrayal[3]

Another day passed. Carl was too busy and too rational to spend his time cooped up in his room.

"It's late, but thank you."

The first person Carl went to after leaving the room was Aric. Without his help, Lilly would have been buried in the Himmeln Cemetery rather than the Imperial Mausoleum.

"Okay. Isn't it true that we can't even do this much?"

Aric was acting quite emotional, unlike his usual indifferent demeanor. If we were to summarize in words the criticism and backlash that Lilly received in one day over the incident of placing her in the imperial tomb, it would easily fill a book, but he just let it go.

Aric had previously thought of Carl as a man who would become a strong pillar of the empire. But as they shared many things, he came to regard this charming and wise young archduke as a true younger brother.

"I know you've suffered a lot, brother. I'll definitely repay you later."
