Aiden's long fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a clear, steady sound.
In his mind, he quickly sorted through the conflict between the two main factions of the Red Dwarves Clan.
One side was the false king, Malcolm, who looked noble and righteous on the outside but was cruel and vicious inside.
The other side was Karls, the rightful heir who carried a deep blood feud and controlled the Bonerot Ghostflame.
"Since Darius has already taken power, why didn't he just kill you both and remove the problem completely?"
Aiden asked straight to the point.
Karls took a deep breath and calmed his surging emotions.
"Because he needs the living bloodline of the royal family to open the Scarlet Skull Goblet left behind by the first king."
"And behind him, there seems to be the shadow of an extremely mysterious organization in the Abyss—the Dawn Society."
"The Dawn Society has been secretly collecting fragments of ancient weapons. Codex is one of their final targets!"
