During these days when Shane had a chance encounter with Ai Yi and welcomed Ai Yi into the Lazahad family, a meeting closely related to Shane was also in progress in one of the noble mansions in the Royal Capital.
This noble mansion was the Duke Sterling's villa in the Royal Capital.
The Sterling family is one of the ducal families of the Mitra Kingdom and is recognized as one of the nobles with considerable power and authority in the ducal circle.
Their domain is in the northern part of the kingdom, bordering the Ragna Empire. As a noble family on the border, they have always defended the kingdom's territory and have thwarted several invasions by the Ragna Empire in the past, proving their considerable strength.
Furthermore, the Sterling family is related to the Royal Family, albeit distantly. There's no doubt that an ancestor of the Sterling family was a member of the Royal Family.
