Ellen went back to his mansion and to his secret underground lair. Emilia who’s busy with the intel team turned around to see her commander."Commander, we've gathered all the information we needed," she began. "We found out that Demetrio sought a partnership with the Alexiou. However, they proposed a marriage without informing the Alexiou family first to corner them.”Emilia continued, “They sought the Alexious' influence to expand their business in Kester City. That's why the business partnership evolved into a marriage proposal.”“Are they aware that Sophie is married, and that I am her husband?”“No, Commander.

You killed my children!” a mother cried while punching her chest, agony and despair were written all over her face while crying desperately.“My poor babies, I don’t even know if their bones are still burned to the ground,”“You mean these children?” Lyric intercepted.“Mom
