"I have information about the whereabouts of a young girl named Eris Lennister. Are you interested?"
Upon hearing Leon's words, Albert's entire body tensed, and his heart raced.
Eris Lennister was his daughter, who had disappeared a year ago. At the time, he had been on a mission for the Empire, leaving his thirteen-year-old daughter in the care of servants and guards. Somehow, someone had managed to infiltrate his home and kidnap her.
When Albert received the news, it felt as if his very soul had been yanked toward death's grasp. He immediately mobilized his forces to search every corner of the Holy Empire of Elysium, but no trace of Eris could be found. Even after offering a large reward to anyone who could locate her, his daughter remained lost.
The incident had plunged Albert into a deep depression, and he constantly blamed himself. After all, Eris was his only living relative since his wife passed away fourteen years ago.
