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
Evelyn
The morning light filtered through the tall windows of the palace study as Alex sat across from his mother. The room was quiet, save for the soft crackle of the fireplace. It had been days since their first real conversation, and though the awkwardness still lingered, something had shifted between them.Reina looked at her son, her hands wrapped around a cup of tea she had not touched."You said the bond between us between me and the soul might help us both reach higher levels?"Alex nodded, choosing his words carefully."Seraphina explained it. The soul is bound to you, and you to her. Forced separation would damage both of you. But if you cultivate together, if you find a way to coexist rather than fight, the shared pressure could accelerate your breakthroughs. When you reach the Venerable Immortal realm, the separation will be natural. No tearing. No damage."Reina's eyes glistened."And the soul? She needs to have her original body for this. Will she help me?""She has no choice,"
meeting Diana
She walked to the door, then paused."Alex. About Mother..."Alex's expression shuttered slightly, but he did not look away."She almost destroyed herself trying to protect you. I know you're hurt. I know you have every right to be angry. But don't let that anger eat the part of you that still wants a mother." She met his eyes. "You have time. Use it wisely."She left before he could respond.Alex sat alone, the tower and crystal still on the table. He picked up the ball-shaped armor, turning it over in his hands.“Diana.”He had not thought about her much, not beyond gratitude. But Alena was right. A cosmic energy tube, while valuable, was impersonal. This armor... this was something else.He placed it back in his space ring and made a decision.The next morning,Alex looked at the message from Alena.“Diana came to Starlight base. Make your move first.”Alex looked at the message then thought if he went just like a casual friend which he isn’t then it won’t look good as a prince of
