From the creation of the Homunculi to the formation of the Empire, Alex had always been curious about the motives of the Great Families.
On one hand, they acted as benevolent keepers, protecting the empire from all sorts of supernatural dangers, and on the other hand, The revelations from Abraham about the origin of the Homunculi and Alejandro's words about the true nature of the Great Families, painted them more as villains than anything else.
Having such a dualistic representation depending on those aware of them warranted slight confusion as though Alex wasn't one to think of humans as either black or white, he understood that there needed to be a reason for one to be gray.

Aiden nodded. "Indeed."
"Is that why you built the Empire?"
