In another part of the capital city of the Doria Empire, one of the female outsiders was speaking with a man in a private, luxurious restaurant. The man was someone Aldrian recognized—Prince Hector.
Aldrian was intrigued by how this outsider had managed to get in contact with Hector in such a short time since her arrival on the continent. He also wondered what they were discussing that required a private room.
As he focused his senses and hearing, their voices finally became clear.
"Thank you for inviting me, Your Highness. Once again, I apologize if I disrupted your schedule because of me," the female outsider named Vanessa said softly.
She was a beautiful, young-looking woman with long black hair. At this moment, she wore a casual robe that emphasized the curves of her body, making her look sexy. Combined with the way she spoke and the softness of her voice, it could easily melt those who heard it. Aldrian could see from Hector's expression that he was affected.
