1059 Chapter 1059: A Small Cost

....

Two hours later, the Ship leading the Princess of the Clan entered the atmosphere of the world. The ship landed in front of the Palace and the door slid open. The Princess was the first person to step out of the ship, growing surprised as she saw her father standing at the entrance of the Palace. "Father?"

Karyk walked inside the Palace, accompanied by the Clan Head. Along the way, he noticed quite a few guards who avoided his gaze. He also saw that the girl that had brought him here wasn't following them. Instead, a middle aged woman who looked like her mother approached her, pulling her away. It all happened behind Karyk so no one thought he would notice their movements, especially since the Clan Head was keeping him distracted. After reaching the basement, the Clan Head stopped in front of the door at the end of the hallway. "Behind this room lies the paintings that can be called my life's most precious possession. I am sure you will love it."

He opened the room before stepping aside, akin to a good ghost who wanted their guest to enter first. Karyk didn't step inside, only looking at him in confusion. However, the smile on the Clan Head's face suddenly disappeared as he saw Karyk standing still. Now that he had already come this far, there was no need to act. "You demon, step inside!" With his hand already on Karyk's shoulder, he pushed the young man inside the room before closing the door behind him. Even after locking the door, he didn't feel confident. He quickly rushed upstairs, telling the servants and everyone else inside the mansion to leave. Even with the four lords inside the room where he had tossed Karyk, he didn't feel confident about his safety. If the four lords were to punish the young man, they might accidentally destroy the mansion with the young man. If that happened, he didn't want to be near this place at all. His daughter and wife were already inside the ship. He also stepped inside the ship which rose, flying away from the Palace. The Servants also entered other ships, leaving the grand palace as nothing more than the ghost house that had been abandoned. "With your life, the Lords will not trouble us anymore. If anything, we might even get closer to the four Lords, bringing our clan closer to prosperity that even the King can't stop!"

The Clan Head looked at the distant Palace with a wide grin on his face. Even if the Palace was destroyed, it was a small cost to pay for friendship of the four Lords.
