Capítulo 56: Meeting

The prince had made it back to Hitoshi's home.

He stood in the living chamber. Around him, they all gathered—Serina, Leria, Alan, Hitoshi, and even the carriage driver. The Rune Stone was also connected, allowing Borag, Twicher, and the Lord of Heidz to join the meeting remotely.

Aric had called this meeting with everyone present because the current situation the king had placed him in meant that all his plans would have to work without his physical intervention. If that were the case, he needed to ensure he could delegate effectively and trust his team members to execute their parts.

"I had a talk with Aszer two days ago... and tomorrow, the Byzeth Kingdom and its forces will begin multiple raids on Valeria... orchestrated by me."

Hearing these words, everyone remained silent, but it was clear what was going through their minds. Was that not madness? How does one attack his own empire as an offensive against another?
