Chương 237: The Agreement With The Crown Prince

"What do you want, William?" Lyan asked, his tone cold and his expression guarded.

Prince Erich Wanevar Astellia, the man Lyan had known as William during their shared quest against the goblin king, smiled wryly. "Please, call me Erich- I guess forget it. Just call me William. And may I come in? I assure you, this conversation is better held in private."

Lyan hesitated for a moment before nodding and stepping aside, allowing Erich to enter. The prince moved with a quiet grace, taking a seat in the room's only chair. Lyan remained standing, his eyes never leaving Erich.

"Why are you here?" Lyan asked, his voice carefully neutral.

Erich leaned back, studying Lyan with a mixture of respect and urgency. "There's a situation in Astellia that requires immediate attention. The duke's faction, also known as the noble faction, has been causing significant unrest. They oppose the royal family and have been undermining the kingdom's stability."
