Aster stood in front of five kneeling people. They were all the ones that didn't make it to Rosalie's list. There were still other people that weren't listed, but their position was already clear and stationed as officials under direct order of Emperor and Empress. They had high probability of betraying him.
Aster questioned the guards and servants whom he called before, and their reactions narrowed his search to these five people that didn't work under direct order of any royals. They were stationed as guard, servant, or small official. However, they seemed to not work in their supposed job. It was, as if they had other unnamed task.
Aster gazed down to these people. There were two guards, a butler, a maid working in laundry room, and a cook. Aster took particular interest on three people, a guard, the cook, and the maid.
