"Towards a hero of the Sixty-Year Demon Purge, wasn't this action by your Hale family going a bit too far?"

Alex's tone suddenly shifted. His voice turning deep.
"However, as the Saint Lord of the Hale family, I also cannot allow the people of my own family to suffer any unrighted wrongs."
"Your Majesty should recognize this item, shouldn't you?"
He retrieved the Soul-Tethering Bell from his robes and casually tossed it right in front of Aurelia.
Aurelia focused her gaze on it. Instantly, a panicked expression crossed her face.
"Where did you get this?!"
"Naturally, it was taken from his body."
Alex smiled and clapped his hands.
Adrian emerged from behind the throne. In his hand, he was holding a youth covered in blood, with a bruised and swollen face.
Knox.
