The Secret Cult

White City, Palace of the Golden Roses.

Rudolph III's secret chamber was a bit crowded that day. This special room, which had never received more than three visitors at a time, entertained many people on that day. The king's three children sat beside him, and his two important officials, Grand Duke Loen as well as General Gloen, sat on the other side while the ancient guardian sat opposite him.

Another two people were in the room too.

One was Alfred, a famous scholar of the kingdom. He was also the prince and princesses' History and Natural History tutor. He was a slightly bald, fat, old gentleman. His white beard drooped over his simple black robe, and he looked very kind. The man sat beside Hao Ren, smiling and gazing curiously at the famous "ancient guardian".
