《Legacy: Lord Alba》Chapter 25: Uncomfortable
Advertisement
When they heard those words, both Frey and the other representatives were speechless. A core disciple of the James Clan has a sister residing in the Alba Kingdom?
"Sir, if your sister is in the kingdom we will definitely find her for you" Frey spoke calmly but inside he was somewhat chaotic. If something had happened to his sister, then Alba kingdom would be ruined. So no matter what, He would do everything in his means to bring his sister safe and sound.
"Hahaha, Mr. Prime Minister, you do not need to look for her all over the kingdom, I know where she is." Joseph had a friendly smile as he spoke, with that Frey could let a sigh of relief.
"Where is she? I will send an escort to bring her to the palace immediately", Frey will take this opportunity to meet his sister and be able to offer her protection hereafter, So in the future, he can avoid any problems from Joseph and even own a favor to the Kingdom.
"I am looking for the ninth concubine, so don't be worried about the escort." When Joseph said those words Frey put on a bewildered face, He could not believe what he had just heard and asked: "You are the brother of the ninth concubine?"
Joshep only smiled, while making a small bow, According to the Nobel customs of the continent "I should be addressed as Joseph Webber heir of duke Webber, I apologize to the Prime Minister for my lack of wisdom on my part."
He is the first son of Duke Webber!, In addition to that, he is a core disciple of the James Clan, Although the title of Duke did not worth much outside the Snow Kingdom, the status of core disciple is completely different. They were the most talented of the younger generation, Besides they are those who have the greatest chance to become the next generation of Great Elders, Supreme Elders and among them, one will choose as the next sect head of their respective sect.

Nobody would dare to make an enemy of them in the South Region!
So when Frey heard those words he was speechless, he knew that the ninth concubine had an older brother but he did not know that he was a core disciple of the James Clan. When the king married the ninth concubine he asked for information regarding her whole family and their background but the information provided by his assistants did not say anything about her brother being from a sect in the southern region.
An error? Such an important issue was never an error it should be sabotaged by someone, with that in mind he decided that once things were finished here, he will interrogate the assistants, "So you are the brother of the ninth concubine lady Anna, you should have said so, Guards accompany Mr. Webber to his sister's residence, we should not delay their family reunion any longer. "
"I am very grateful for answering my request", With that, he exchanged some polite words with the others in the hall and under the direction of the guards he proceeded in the direction of his sister's residence.
It now made sense to the representatives as to why the James clan sent a core disciple, but there was one representative who had an ugly face. The golden-armored old man from the Royal Palace, as the king of Alba kingdom forbidden all the nobles of the kingdom from joining the Royal Palace, when the sect master of Royal palace found out about this matter he was furious, so much so that the old man was ordered to decapitate that king and bring his head, originally he planned to do it tonight before the tests, but now that the king had as a brother-in-law who's a core disciple, it became nigh impossible to finish his mission, if he can join hands with the other five present representatives then he can do something to them, except he alone, so he could not do anything but grit his teeth and retire to his room.

His priority, for now, was to recruit disciples even if they were plebeians as it was better than nothing, just thinking about the punishment he will be given when he returns, made him dejected, but it is better than being dead. After a few words, the other representatives also said their goodbye. Leaving Frey alone in the hall, So he told the guards to bring the assistants.
After a few minutes, two middle-aged men arrived. These two men looked calm, they thought that their boss had called to run some errands for him.
"Do you have any assignments for us?" The two said at the same time as they made a small bow.
"No, actually I had some questions which I would like you two to clarify" When they heard those words the two men were confused, what questions can their boss wanted them to beget? One of the two stepped forward "As long as it is within my knowledge I will answer" for him it was an opportunity to prove himself and get a good impression on his boss so he took advantage of it.
Seeing this, Frey laughed inside, "haha, I think it's in your knowledge, you just have to tell me why did Miss Anna's profile, did not mention any important information regarding her brother as I just found out that he a core disciple of James clan of the southern region" while saying that Frey stroked his beard while smiling softly, if one looked at him, he would think he was a generous Elder who would not hurt a fly.
But for this pair of men, Those words made their faces turn black, Their face full of calm now looked sour, the one who said before, that he would answer all the questions was in an uncomfortable position, he did not want to answer that question, but as he already spoken those words, so he did not know what to do.

New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make. CW: graphic descriptions of violence, swearing, implied child abuse, mention and graphic description of suicide
