Even every individual might have their own ulterior motives.

The next day, “Dragon Taming Lord” Aldrich Romann of the Romann family arrived.

In the villa’s great hall, Byrne approached with a smile, nodding and saying,

“Lord Aldrich, it’s been a long time.”

Aldrich, still dressed very gentlemanly and appropriately, first responded to the greeting, then frowned and shook his head, saying, “It’s a pity, we all still came.”

Darren also approached and calmly greeted Lord Aldrich.

With a slight smile, Byrne continued, “It seems you are still very wary of the Adley Royal Family, never wanting to come here, but in the end, you had to come to the Royal Capital of Cyart.”

“Must be because of pressure within your family, right?”

Aldrich could not help but concede, nodding slightly and saying, “Indeed, the selection of a new king is of such great impact on the interests of the Romann family that, despite my desire not to be involved, all members of my family opposed my view.”

“Some of them believe that if the Romann family doesn’t gain the favor of the new king immediately, it will be detrimental to our future.”

He paused for a moment and added calmly, “I, on the other hand, believe that whether the new king will favor the Romann family largely depends on the power that the Romann family itself possesses.”

Aldrich was still opposed to the Romann family members coming to the Royal Capital of Cyart, but the selection of a new king was too important, and there was even the possibility of the Romann family being excluded from the power center.

Thus, his unsubstantiated proposal was immediately met with strong opposition from family members.

The last time he offended the Cyart King had already made him subject to doubt, and now with the Cyart King deceased, Aldrich had no new arguments to offer.

Even though he felt the Cyart King might be feigning death, the announcement issued by the “Silver Hermit” Cardinal of the Salvation Church carried a great deal of credibility.

So, under pressure from within his family, he had no choice but to travel to the Royal Capital of Cyart with “Blazing Fire” Amos, having forcefully left Ariel behind in their territory, so that if anything happened to either of them, there would be something to fall back on.

At that moment, Darren suddenly asked, “Mr. Aldrich, why exactly do you suspect there is something wrong with the Cyart King?”

Aldrich paused for a moment before answering calmly, “After the incident with the Tranquility Order, I returned and compiled all the clues I had and handed them over to the Cyart King.”

“The Cyart King sent the competent ‘Silver Poet’ Madam Aphrodus to investigate, but in the end, she found nothing.”
