The cleanup operation in capital city was still ongoing, with Emperor Durand overseeing it. Suddenly, he sensed a presence in Aldrian's mansion and turned to look in that direction. His eyes widened as he saw Aldrian appear with two other people. The individuals with Aldrian were unconscious, showing signs of depleted energy. Emperor Durand immediately recognized them—they were Master Dan of the Alchemist Association and Grand Duke Gouvard.
Emperor Durand immediately approached Aldrian and asked,
"Young Aldrian, are you okay? I heard you faced the Envy Devil. He is a truly troublesome opponent, and to think he came to your place!"
Aldrian simply smiled and nodded at Emperor Durand.
