Neither Garric nor Malrik Sloan were in the group that Michelle's Spirit Clones killed in front of the Imperial Palace, which was good, as she knew that Kieran Ashford wanted to personally take revenge on them.
While she was taking care of old man Sloan's formation and the Soul Seeking Pendants, Kieran was investigating the case of his father's disappearance. He contacted the other viscounts who got a part of his territory after he was stripped of his title and asked them many questions. Finally, he came to the conclusion that Michelle already knew. The Sloan family with their ambitions and corruption caused his family's fall.
When he found out, rage burned in his heart more than ever, but he didn't let it take a hold of him. He went to see the little Emperor, and to his surprise, the face he hadn't seen for a while appeared in front of him. "Lady Grace? What are you doing here?" he asked in confusion when he saw Michelle talking with the little Emperor.
