Chapter: 456

But there was no place to go.

The door was tightly closed and there was no window.

There was a bell on the wall to call people.

There was such a bell in Theor’s house.

Theor tried to touch the bell, but it was too high to reach.

When Theor was looking around the square room and checking the walls for cracks, the door opened with a click.

The man who brought Theor came inside.

Behind the man stood a stranger.

He was a man with light blond hair, who looked much older than the Emperor, Lyndon, and Vellian.

The man was skinny and had a monocle in one of his eyes.

That person seems to be of high rank.

Theor thought so as he looked at the man.

When he was at home, he didn’t know that people wore different clothes depending on his status.

When he met the Emperor and traveled with him from place to place, Theor learned that the high nobles wore splendid and fancy clothes.

Count Vellian always wore nice clothes, and so did the knight commander, Lyndon.

The man in front of him now was wearing much better clothes than Vellian or Lyndon.

He walked up to Theor with an astonished expression.

“Is he Astelle’s son?”

“Yes, Duke.”

Astelle was his mother’s name.

‘Does this uncle know my mother?’

The white-blond man looked down at Theor, then suddenly grabbed Theor’s neck and pulled him closer.

“Ah!”

Theor struggled in pain.

The white-blond man angrily pulled Theor’s body towards him.
