"What next, brother?" Ria the priestess came up to Adrian, who was standing atop a half-destroyed building overlooking the city.
His eyes reflected the burning city in the distance. After a few seconds, he let out a sigh. "We will start from scratch, and this time make it more fortified so that it will be difficult for enemies to invade us."
"I've already sent the soldiers to rescue the survivors. It also appears that a majority of them were hiding in the capital, including those from the big noble families."
A sharp gleam passed through Adrian's eyes when he heard the part about the nobles, and his entire aura changed.
Ria noticed this and asked, brows furrowed. "Any problems?"
"About that noble part," Adrian said. "All previous noble families will be stripped of their titles, especially the big four. They all fled when the kingdom was in trouble. There's no need keeping dead weight in our midst."
Ria nodded. "I understand."
