-Third Person POV-
Back to the Present
Arkan began to understand the changes that had occurred with Cecilia. So, this was all about love and the ambitions of one person...
If that's the case, then the person who would ignite the war on the Empire's side must surely be Cecilia's lover.
Arkan crossed his arms, staring at Aurelia with intense curiosity.
"So, can I know the name of Cecilia's lover?" he asked casually, though his mind was working rapidly. "It seems like this person is quite cunning, considering they managed to control and change your friend into someone like this."
Aurelia let out a short sigh, then looked at Arkan with a cold expression.
"She's clearly no longer my friend," she said firmly. "But fine... her lover's name is—Leon von Astoria."
Arkan stiffened immediately.
Not because of his first name...
But because of his family name.
