Casteel's point of view
➵➵➵
AFTER MY TALK WITH MY COUSIN, I went to Stradivarius and told him the tip Valerian gave me, and he said I should go back to the Empire. Then, that's what I did. Since going through the ocean would take too long, I asked the Legendary Mage and he let me go through a portal that would take me to the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
And that was more than enough.
I was able to travel like this at ease since I had already arranged for dad and Ryan to go to the Rosalyn Kingdom, and our territory was being managed at the moment by our precious butler who's like a second dad to me. So, I don't feel burdened to get back fast and end everything quickly here.
Then, before I left, I put on some commoner clothes, my daggers on my pockets and boots, and my sword on my waist. Caihong was the one who helped me with that, and she also gave me a tip on where to stay and where to go unnoticed. Really useful.
