About Marquis Mortimer

Ana nodded. "He is the Lord of the largest territory in the kingdom, a crucial area that connects to Hatha, Thevailes, and parts of the Abetha border. All business relationships with Hatha and Thevailes are maintained through Marquis Mortimer. Also, he has his own strong military power which he had created under the guise of protecting borders with the three kingdoms. It is said that because of this, King Ailwin never upsets him as well."

"If something upsets him, there is always a fear that he will side with Thevailes and Hatha," Oriana commented. "Along with his own power and the other two kingdoms, he can create great trouble for Griven. In short, he is a ticking bomb, a potential great threat and King Ailwin must deal with him carefully."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Shouldn't this threat be removed entirely from the root?" Oriana mused, thinking about Arlan. He was supernatural and could do anything he wanted, so why tolerate such troubles?
