RISE OF EROS

CHAPTER 519

Clarissa moved quickly after receiving the carrier pigeon from her niece, Victoria. Not only did she contact the Viscount who owned the inn where Spigas was staying, but she also informed the royal family of the situation.

Victoria did not consider that for a matter as small as this, the royal family's help was needed, but Clarissa was different. She understood Andrew's importance to the country and so she notified them of anything that happened that involved him.

Victoria and the others do not realize how important their husband is to the royal family. In fact, they had proposed sending some guards with Andrew on his trip, but he had rejected them. Enjoy more content from empire

The reason Andrew rejected this proposal was not because he did not trust Daphne or Diana, but because he had many secrets, and having outsiders traveling with him could potentially lead to them discovering some of his secrets.

They know that Andrew can somehow transform into a demigod, very powerful, but they are unaware of the limitations. They don't know how long he can do this or if he suffers any adverse reaction to doing so.

This gives him a certain advantage even though they know he can do this. When Diana found out what was happening from Clarissa's letter, she told Daphne and even the elderly demigods who protect the royal family.

Everything that had to do with Andrew was discussed by these 5, that's how important Andrew was, that the 5 most important and powerful people in the kingdom had to meet to discuss such a small matter.

In the end, the meeting didn't go any further. It was a simple matter and they believed it wasn't necessary to intervene, but that didn't mean they wouldn't be watching. Spigas was eating at the time, not knowing that he would soon suffer a calamity.

While he was eating, a waiter approached him and very respectfully informed him that the inn manager needed to meet with him. Spigas was surprised that the manager wanted to meet with him, but he still didn't refuse.

He finished his meal and was led by the waiter to the administration office. Inside the office, unexpectedly, was not the inn manager, but the owner of the place himself, Viscount Kihaf.

The Viscount's presence surprised Spigas and although a little drunk from the wine he drank during dinner, being a businessman who often dealt with the nobility, he greeted with good manners, "Viscount Kihaf, it is a pleasure to see you, to what do I owe the honor?".

Viscount Kihaf is a middle-aged man with a robust body and is well-dressed. While men do not care about family problems, this is a special case, since they had to expel a person, and to avoid complications, this man came in place of his wife.

The house of Kihaf, like most noble houses in this country, is headed by a woman, but for matters of this type, men usually take control of the situation.

Although men do not care much about the title, they will not accept being disrespected either, so Spigas addressed him as Viscount. The man looked serious and only nodded to return the greeting.

He did not want this situation to drag on, so he went straight to the point, "Mr. Spigas, I am afraid you must leave the premises." Hearing Viscount Kihaf's words, Spigas' heart fell.

He was not so stupid as not to realize what was happening. What he feared most had happened and he was convinced that his attempted murder had been discovered and now they wanted to settle accounts with him.

Spigas, not wanting to give up, wanted to reply and ask to be allowed to stay, because he knew that if he left this place he would be dead, but Viscount Kihaf, as if guessing his words, spoke first, "There is no need for you to reply, I will not change my decision, I ask you to leave the establishment."

"Viscount… You know what will happen if I leave," Spigas managed to stammer, but the Viscount didn't flinch and said, "That's not my problem." Spigas couldn't believe what was happening to him.

He wanted to retort again, but then the Viscount showed his expert aura and seriously looked at him. Now he seemed angry, he didn't like that Spigas was dragging out the situation.

Spigas was scared when he saw the Viscount showing his strength and seconds later the 5 experts who were protecting him appeared. Seeing the five elders, Spigas breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew that the Viscount couldn't hurt him now, but what happened next left him perplexed.

"Are you the ones who came to pick him up?" Viscount Kihaf suddenly asked, confusing Spigas and then one of the elders answered, "Yes, we appreciate your hospitality."

Confused, Spigas was about to ask what was happening, but then he felt a strange force enveloping him, making it difficult for him to breathe, and within seconds he fell unconscious.

The Viscount didn't even flinch when he saw the elders restraining Spigas, as he was already aware of what was happening. After one of the elders carried Spigas like a bag of potatoes, the elders ook to the Viscount as if to thank him and disappeared.

Once alone in the office, the Viscount let out a sigh and said quietly, "We really could have suffered a calamity." While Castor and the others didn't want political trouble and so they didn't attack the inn, the Viscount didn't know that and so he let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Spigas was no longer in this place.

It wasn't just Shadow's agents watching as everything happened, Castor was also hidden watching. While they were convinced that these elders wouldn't play a trick, Castor wouldn't allow anything to go wrong, so he personally went to see what was happening.

Seeing that the elders had captured Spigas and were heading to Dunnas Palace, he moved at high speed, to get there before them. Castor outpowered them by a large margin, so by the time the elders arrived, Castor had already informed Andrew's wives about what had happened.

Obviously, they couldn't enter through the main gate carrying Spigas, because while no one would say anything to them, it was still bad publicity for the business, so they arrived at the VIP entrance, where it was difficult to see who was arriving.

There they were greeted by a Shadow agent who received an unconscious Spigas and took him to the prison in the basement of Dunnas Palace. Meanwhile, the 5 elders walked to the reception where a middle-aged man in ordinary but elegant clothes was waiting for them.

This man is Spigas' right-hand man and had arrived early, as the elders wanted to introduce him as the leader of the caravan now that Spigas was out of the way.

They had already explained everything to him and the man was visibly worried and scared. He is an ordinary person, so upon hearing of the movements of these monsters, it was normal to be frightened.

The receptionists at Dunnas Palace had already been informed of these elders and the man waiting for them, so they had treated him cordially, even offering him tea, which he could not drink due to his nerves.

Upon seeing the elders, the man stood up and approached them cautiously and said, "Greetings venerable elders." The elders only nodded and one of them said, "Now we will meet with the people we mentioned, be prudent."

Minutes later, an employee appeared and led them to the office, where Candice, Helena, Carolina, Victoria, Sansa, and Castor were waiting for them. Being in their presence, the man was sweating coldly but managed to maintain his composure.

Seeing him, Candice smiled, because she understood his feelings. It was not easy to be in the presence of all these experts and powerful people, being an ordinary citizen, but the fact that he maintained his composure made him value her.

One of the elders stepped forward and bowed slightly and said, "We have handed over the sinner. This is Elias, the second in command of the caravan and we believe that he will comply with your demands."

Elias did not know what to do, but he bowed silently nonetheless, showing submission. Since the idea was to take over the caravan so that Candice could conduct her business more broadly, it was she who spoke, "You do not need to be nervous."

She paused and added, "Your job does not change, it is just that you now work for us". Elias did not know how to respond and looked at the elders as if asking for them to tell him what to do.

The elders noticed his gaze, but did not say anything, as it was not their decision and Candice continued explaining, "I imagine that the elders already explained to you the sin of your boss and for that, he will have to pay, but his employees are not guilty, so you will just change employers."

While it seemed like Candice was asking for his opinion, Elias knew he had no other choice but to agree, so he bowed and said with a little stutter, "I will do my best."

Candice nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this and then Victoria began to speak, "You five will continue as protectors of the caravan and Elias," to which the elders agreed, but at that moment Castor intervened, "It is in your best interest not to run away."

These short words made the elders tremble. The truth was that they were planning to escape when they were far from the city and travel as far north as they could, but Castor's warning made them reconsider.

"There is no need to fear. If you work diligently, you will not suffer, in fact, you will be well treated, but if you betray us, you will have no place to hide," Castor threatened.

He had led the scum of society in the city of Calci, so he knew how their minds worked. Having 5 new experts on their side was good, but just like the experts they got from Vocgo in Cannaris, these were not trustworthy.
