Albert was shocked.
It wasn't because the friend that everyone considered dead for the last five years had returned as if he had just gone out to shop for groceries, that wasn't surprising at all.
The rest of it, was what surprised him.
He had first heard of the traitors. That wasn't that shocking either, though the confirmation did hurt a little. Before Eugene, there wasn't a method for them to escape the monstrous senses of people like the Elf King and the Vampire Progenitor, but with his return it was an easily solved matter.
The Elf King was clean.
The Vampire Progenitor wasn't. If that wasn't enough, almost more than half of the Hallopara, the world where the vampire progenitor and his vampires, zombies, and spectres lived, was all completely compromised to the Outer Gods.
It wasn't that shocking, it was a matter of fact.
