"So, you have become his ally…" The Empress frowned after confirming this was the case.
Meanwhile, Ana and Yuri were shocked when they heard Theo had the ability to convince the Wind Emperor to be his ally.
With this, Theo had three allies: the War God Family, the Starry Group, and the Czar.
Coupled with Theo's brilliance, he would surely become a big powerhouse in the future.
The Empress facepalmed for a moment before leaning to the chair.
"This is insane…" The Empress felt defeated when she realized she had still underestimated Theo.
He glanced up and looked at Ana. "Why don't you help Alea seduce him right now? No, should I just send you both there? If he picks one of you, this palace will be good for another two hundred years…"
"Ahaha, do you think he will even consider me?" Ana chuckled.
The Empress shrugged and said to the Wind Emperor, "I guess you now can die peacefully."
"That depends on his performance, but yeah, I can sleep now without thinking too much." The Wind Emperor smiled. "I just want a body that allows me to move for the remaining of my life. I don't like to be lying down for a few years before I'm dead."
"Haha. With your wind, that's an easy thing to do." The Empress chuckled.
"Just in case, I have told you not to offend Theodore Griffith, right?" The Wind Emperor glanced at Lyovkin and Levina.
"Don't worry, Grandfather. We know that and have made sure that all the people from the family know this." Lyovkin hurriedly assured him.
'Good then." The Wind Emperor shrugged.
"So, where is he now?" The Empress asked.
"Well, I think you can already guess…" The Wind Emperor smirked.
"The Starry Group eh… That Business Genius? Maya Hamilton. I guess she is truly a business genius when she doesn't even care about the stance of other countries in not approaching Theo." The Empress shook her head helplessly.
"Indeed. I heard that even her father was against it at first until he knew that Theodore Griffith is the grandson of the War Saint."
"Well, Maya is known to be arrogant and doesn't want to listen to something she doesn't like. I guess there's a reason for that." The Empress shrugged.
"Indeed."
"But if it's like this, doesn't this mean the Griffith Family have thrown away the chance? Theo might even surpass his father, who's said to have the same talent as their ancestor, the top five experts in the past."
"That's what I thought too, but now it's different. I realized that his parents might want a situation like this to happen."
"Ho? Why do you say so?"
"I mean, first of all, there is the man known to be one of the best illusionists who can even manipulate one's memory. Just by showing his talent, he might make Theo his soldier at that moment."
"But they're a strong couple, you know."
"But when they conceived Theo, Ray Griffith just became a Mythical Rank Expert and Valerie was close to Mythical Rank. At the same time, they were fugitives. They didn't have any power and influence to resist the Griffith Family, considering Ray's Father, the previous lord of the Griffith Family, was at Leonardo's level.
"If you take a look at what they're doing now, you will realize that they're going to the Griffith Family to forge their own influence. Isn't that the reason why they're hiding with Nella Griffith by using all their power and influence? They now have this kind of power.
"They have become stronger now and their influence has gotten deep after playing inside the Griffith Family for almost two decades."
"Yeah. I mean, they can simply forge another relationship with his future in the line. I mean, if I can see Theo's talent for a while, I don't even mind betrothing Ana to him." The Empress glanced at Ana with a smile.
"Have you heard about that rumor?" The Wind Emperor shook his head.
"Rumor?"
"About Theo having a big brother."
"The adopted child?"
"No, no. The one before that."
The Empress fell silent for a moment and frowned. "That's just a baseless rumor. I think that rumor was before Ray and Valerie married. Didn't they release that rumor for Leonardo to agree to their relationship?"
"Well, who knows. It might be true." The Wind Emperor shrugged. "If you think that was the case and the Griffith Family had control of him, I guess that's another reason for them to seek revenge."
"Leonardo surely wouldn't appreciate that. If it was him, he would let go of revenge and just focus on his family."
"Well, they are not him." The Wind Emperor shrugged.
"Whatever. It's just a rumor. I'm not going to talk about something irrelevant." The Empress shrugged. "Anyway, what are you planning to do now that you have Theodore Griffith? There are many people aiming for his life, you know."
"At least, I have directed them to this place, so I guess that kid won't have a problem in the next few months. As for what I'm planning to do… I'm not doing anything. After all, I'm not going to babysit him all the time. He also knows that because the moment his value drops, I'm going to leave him." The Wind Emperor shrugged.
"That's true." The Empress thought for a moment and glanced at Ana. "Anyway, I'm going to have you become a Supreme Rank Expert first. I want you to prepare for a big fight."
"A big fight?" Ana frowned. "What big fight? Is it going to involve Theo?"
"Obviously. I'm just creating an opportunity for you and Alea. I don't know whether you like him or not, but there's a time you need to do what you do." She then pointed at Levina and Lyovkin. "Luckily, these two kids are not strong enough. So, this is the only opportunity."
"Hmm? A big fight?" The Wind Emperor frowned and said, "You're not going to go there, aren't you?"
"Hmm. This is the only thing I know." The Empress shrugged.
"Go where?" Ana tilted her head in confusion.
"There is only one predictable place that he will visit in the near future.." The Empress sighed and lazily said, "His hometown, Thersland."
"So, you have become his ally…" The Empress frowned after confirming this was the case.
Meanwhile, Ana and Yuri were shocked when they heard Theo had the ability to convince the Wind Emperor to be his ally.
With this, Theo had three allies: the War God Family, the Starry Group, and the Czar.
