When Mr. Alpinus learned that Charlotte Allison held the key and map to the emperor's tomb, he wanted to find an opportunity to meet her.
The meeting was supposed to be secret, but Charlotte meant for the right people to know that they had met, to better proceed with the following matters.
Mr. Alpinus had always known that the girl from the Allison Family was capable and daring, but he didn't expect her to be so ruthless towards him as well.
She deliberately led people to misunderstand that the critical items for opening the emperor's tomb were in his possession, making them target him.
When conspiring with Charlotte Allison, Mr. Alpinus never suggested that she really hand over the key to him for safekeeping, as he knew it might not be safer in his hands than in hers.
What needed to be done now was to root out the threats within the leadership first, then handle the issues concerning the emperor's tomb more effectively.
