A full-scale search for heretics had begun in the East.

"There's someone suspicious over here!"

"Agh, why are you doing this...!"

"Check that side too!"

The search for heretics had been going on for some time, but the intensity of the search now was incomparable to before.

"What do you mean by heretic? He's definitely not one! My brother only got sick and...!"

"Our policy is to transfer all suspicious persons for investigation. If he is truly innocent, he will be released. So stop blocking the way and move!"

The people who usually had suspicious behavior, or had unusual appearances were the first to be arrested.

"What did you just say?"

The news also reached Kalian, who was lying in the sickbed. Kalian's face hardened and he immediately sat up.

"You shouldn't get up yet!"

The doctor and butler by his side hurriedly tried to stop him but it was of no use. Still sitting on the bed, Kalian turned to the butler who delivered the news and asked again.

"Is this father's direct order?"

But right after saying that, he thought it was a foolish question. The Crawford family had influence over everything in everything in the East, so obviously, this situation had proceeded under Dominic's command.

"Where is my father right now?"

"He's at the central council."

Kalian got up straight away and left the room.
His injuries were bad enough that he shouldn't be moving around so his people were shocked and tried to stop him.

Honestly, Kalian's condition was far worse than Damon whom he rescued. There were cuts and tears all over his face and there was even a splint in his left hand.

"Young master! Didn't the doctor say you should rest in your room for at least two weeks?"

But as before, their words didn't stop Kalian from walking on.

"Kalian! Where are you going this time?"

However, the sound of Bastian's footsteps thudding down the stairs made Kalian pause for a moment. If he hadn't heard anything, he might have continued but he couldn't just ignore his grandfather's call too.

Kalian turned around to look at Bastian and replied.

"I'm going to see father for a bit then I'll be back."

"He'll come back tonight anyway, why do you have to...wait! Wait, Kalian!"

However, that was the end of his brief report.

Kalian nodded to Bastian in farewell then turned around and dashed out the door. He headed straight for the central council where Dominic was.

The news that a full-scale heretic hunt had begun, made Kalian take action. While sitting in the moving carriage, he watched as a chaotic scene continued to unfold beyond the window. The closer he got to the crowded square and the location of the central council, the bigger the disturbance grew.

Kalian's face also hardened more and more in proportion.

In fact, Kalian was practically the only noble in the central council who was against this heretic hunt. Of course, Kalian was on the same page as them, in that he regarded heretics as evil things.
