It was an intervention no one had anticipated.
The strongest figure within the Heart clan had just admitted to being Ethan's source.
"Asterion? What the hell are you talking about?" Kevin Heart shot to his feet, staring at the uncrowned emperor.
"If you possessed such information, why didn't you tell us instead of telling him?"
Kevin's expression had darkened more than ever.
If someone like Asterion—given his immense power and influence—had discovered the Legacy Dungeon, that would at least make sense.
Far more sense than Ethan's story.
Yet that only raised another problem.
Why would the uncrowned emperor hide such a matter… and send a novice knight instead?
"I chose him," Asterion replied calmly, "to give him a chance in his decisive duel one days from now. It wouldn't have been fair for a novice knight to face an advanced one."
