In the desolate streets of Caritas City, a group of people walked toward the mayor's mansion. Some residents peeked out from inside their homes, but the moment they recognized the group, they quickly hid.
What they saw was Young Master Alexi and his knights, seemingly escorting a young man in custody. As they watched, they could only lament the young man's fate—catching the young master's attention surely meant he was done for.
However, what these people did not realize was that the young master and his knights seemed like puppets, their blank stares revealing that they were guiding Aldrian while under hypnosis.
After walking for about thirty minutes, they finally arrived at the vast mansion. When the guards at the gate saw the approaching group, they immediately opened the gate to let them in. The guards watched as the group entered before they disappeared inside the mansion.
