Chapter 857 857: Too Perfect

The World of Elzeria was vast. Although it had one Central authority which was the Royal Family, it had many regional authorities that worked under the Royal Family.

The entire land in Elzeria was divided into smaller provinces, each province having families that held power in their region. Some provinces even had many great families that were often fighting with each one for more control.

For the most part, the Royal Family turned a blind eye to these conflicts, leaving the families to solve their own conflicts.

Only when it was a matter that could affect the stability of the entire land did the Royal Family become involved, sending the Royal Guards to solve the mess. However, there were only a few instances where one such decision was taken by the Royal Family.

One such conflict had already started brewing in the city of Ember. Ember was one of the major cities of Elzeria that held a lot of value for even the Royal Family.

Ember was the home to the best of Blacksmiths within Elzeria. It was also a city where most of the artifacts, technology and equipment was created for the Royal Family.

Ember was called the heart of the Royal Army. Many powerful generals from the Royal Army could often be seen entering and leaving Ember for their personal reasons.

Unfortunately, not everything was peaceful in Ember in recent times. All Ember citizens could feel tense undercurrents within three major powers of the city.

No one knew when things could deteriorate to the point that the Royal intervention could be needed. Fortunately, so far things hadn't escalated to that point. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

None of them wanted to see Ember in chaos, especially since it was the city that could be called the strongest City, if one was to ignore the Royal City.

However, there was one man who didn't want peace in this city. He wanted to make sure that the balance within the City of Ember was broken.

"Frostheart is considered the second strongest. As for Starfall, they are generally considered weaker amongst the three."

"Why do I feel like Starfall Family is the one that's hiding the most?" Karyk muttered, his eyes gazing at the documents before him.

The papers contained all the information that was gathered about the three families. Most of it was public sources while some was sourced directly through infiltration. However, Karyk felt that something was wrong with the information about Starfall.

With the other two families, he could see many flaws. Frostheart was arrogant and often boasted about their strength. They were also known for their lavish lifestyle and extravagant parties.

Meanwhile, Silverthorn was also seen extending their influence. They didn't leave a chance to show the other two families down. It was clear that these two families had a lot of pride and greed.

However, Starfall was different. The Starfall was the most low profile which made people believe that it was because they were the weakest of the three families.

As Karyk went through the information that was gathered about that family, he couldn't help but feel that everything was too... perfect. It was as if they had created an entire fake world around them.

Even the servants of the family seemed to be carefully chosen and trained to maintain the facade of simplicity, yet there was an undeniable air of intelligence and competence about them.

Karyk couldn't help but smile as he put the papers back on the table. "How fascinating."

"Are you going to use the Starfall Family?" The Bartender asked, curious about Karyk's plan.

"I don't want to use the Starfall Family. That would just make things more troublesome. Silverthorn is already considered the strongest in public opinion. It should be easiest to play with Frostheart."

Karyk had made up his mind about what method he was going to do. In any case, he had to turn this city upside down, without revealing his presence.
