After ensuring that all members of the imperial family were ready to listen, Aldrian turned to face Emperor Durand.
"Your Majesty, now that His Highness is in good condition, I wish to tell you about the hidden danger within the imperial family," Aldrian said.
Emperor Durand was silent for a moment before nodding. To be honest, he felt tense, hoping it wasn't someone he trusted again. Ever since the incident with Cook Frans, he had been feeling exhausted. He was tired of all these problems and could only sigh.
"It seems I've grown too old and have become more sentimental," he thought.
Aldrian looked at the other members of the imperial family and addressed them.
"Your Majesties, Your Highnesses, I wish to tell you a story about the snake within the imperial family—the one who wears a beautiful mask to hide his true nature, so no one would ever suspect that he is, in fact, a snake."
