Impostor?
After returning to his family, Ricky had a chat with his father.
"That's the situation, Father." Ricky smiled.
"Good enough for me. Alea is easy to sacrifice. As long as we can gain the Empress, we'll be able to gain a bigger portion of the union. Remember this, don't mess it up!" The middle-aged man in front of Ricky warned him with a stern voice.
"Of course. I'll do my best, Father."
"Good. I don't care how many women you want to play with as long as you can accomplish this. We have driven away that fake Theodore Griffith, so the union is controlled by Flora Wegener and the Griffith Family. If we can get the Empress to our side, we can defeat all other competitors and become the third strongest influence in the union. Make sure you remember that!"
"I understand." Ricky nodded with a serious expression.
"Good. You may go."
Ricky nodded again before leaving the room.
