Viscount Aldridge
He looked at the captives. Dozens of them. Too many to move quickly."We're getting you out of here," he said. "But first, I need to know everything about the Viscount's operations. Every ally, every safe house, every corrupt official."Baron Wentworth nodded."I'll tell you everything. Just get our other family members as well. They are kept in the east wing. I don't know whether they survived or not."Alex's expression darkened."Ram, take half the team to the east wing. Free everyone. Lin Feng, secure the exits. No one leaves this compound alive."He turned back to the other soldier."Where is Viscount Aldridge now?""His estate. He's hosting a banquet tonight. Celebrating... something. We don't know the details, but it seems that many noble families from other cities have come to attend, including a royal family member of the Stormhelm Kingdom."Alex's lips pressed into a thin line."Then I have a banquet to attend. I want to see how a royal family member conspired with a dark cul
Baron Wentworth
Alex gathered his soldiers in the dim light of the inn's back room. Lieutenant Ram had spread a rough map of the warehouse district across the table, marking known entry points and the suspected location of the underground base."Listen carefully," Alex said, his voice low. "We are not here to arrest anyone. We are here to eliminate the cult's presence in this city. If you encounter resistance, you put them down. No hesitation."The ten soldiers nodded, their faces set. They were Domain Realm warriors, handpicked by the Roshar royal family for their loyalty and skill. Not the strongest, but disciplined and reliable."Lieutenant Ram, you will lead the infiltration team. Lin Feng, you handle communications and watch for reinforcements. I will take point on any Law realm threats."Ram saluted."Yes, Prince."Alex checked his weapons, his sword, the spear that could change size, and the new armor given by Seraphina but he never checked but it can be bound to his body. He had not used the
Doubt
Jackson's expression changed when he heard the question. He glanced at Olivia, who had gone a little pale, then back at Alex."I have suspected it," Jackson admitted, his voice low. "But I have no proof. Olivia's father, Baron Wentworth, has been acting strangely for the past two years. He has new allies, people who come and go at odd hours, who do not bow to the customs of this city. And he has been pushing me to leave Dawn City, to return to my family's estate."Olivia gripped her husband's arm."You never told me this.""I did not want to worry you. Your father is still your father. I hoped... I hoped I was wrong."Alex studied his uncle's face."Have you seen any of these allies? Do they wear symbols? Speak in a certain way? Do they belong to the Dark Cult?"Jackson nodded slowly."One of them had a mark on his hand a black sun with a shattered halo. I did not recognize it at first, but after the Dark Cult's involvement became clear, I looked it up. It matches the symbol of a spli
Olivia
Jackson looked at his wife's expression."You will know about it once we return to my home."Jackson looked toward Alex."You should have known about the situation out here. Even my brother might know about it, but why did he send you here?"Hearing this, Alex shook his head."I don't know. He just asked me to come here. As for those in the Dark Cult, he didn't explain anything."Jackson suddenly felt a headache when he heard Alex's words. After all, he didn't know Alex's present condition. He only knew about his talent being low. He also got news about him being expelled a year ago, but clarification also came within a few months, so he didn't think too much.But looking at Alex, who was sent by the Roshar king, Jackson felt he now had one more concern. After all, he was already having a headache with his wife's protection and now his nephew."So you came alone, or has your guardian been sent to protect you?"Alex shook his head."To protect me, I don't think any guardian is there.

meeting Jackson
A fighter plane landed on the outskirts of Dawn City.Alex walked out of the plane, flicked his hand, and stored the fighter plane back in his space ring. Then he looked toward the people."Let's find a place to stay and also gather every detail about the people in this city."He turned his gaze toward the city."Also, find the reason for the monsters' appearance. Didn't the Council deploy their army to track those monsters? How did the monster appear in this city?"Lieutenant Ram answered."Prince, even the Council is looking for the reason, but they haven't found anything yet. Their primary suspects are the Dark Cult and the noble families in Dawn City."Hearing this, Alex began to analyze.Then he turned to Lieutenant Ram."Try not to let anyone take risks. If you find any clues, inform me. I will handle the problem."Everyone was surprised. After all, they only knew the Fifth Prince had been framed as a rebel a year ago. But meeting him, they didn't feel he was some weak, useless
Baron Wentworth
That evening, the Roshar king summoned Alex to his study."Your uncle Jackson," he said without preamble. "He is on Blue Star, living as a commoner, protecting that woman's family. I need you to go there and bring him back."Alex raised an eyebrow."Bring him back by force?""If necessary. But try persuasion first. Your great-grandfather is running out of patience, and Jackson's talents are wasted on Blue Star. He needs to be in the Stargate, training, advancing.""When do I leave?""Tomorrow. Take the starlight portal to Blue star. And Alex..." The king hesitated. "Your uncle is stubborn. Do not let him refuse. It will destroy his future.”Alex nodded."I understand."He left the study, his mind already turning toward the journey ahead. Blue Star. The place where his exile had begun. The place where he had lived for twenty years but never stepped out of the palace.“This journey might bring me more knowledge about the blue star as well.”It would be strange to return.But perhaps, he
