Chapter 421 The Returned Son

“Yes.”

Seraphina immediately opened a channel to the captain of the Imperial Guard and relayed the order concerning Lady Beatrice Watson.

Beatrice was not to be escorted back to her own residence. She was being expelled from the Imperial palace driven beyond its gates and forbidden to return unless she received a direct summons.

“May I ask something presumptuous? Why did you choose her in the first place?”

Seraphina lowered her eyes and bowed in the formal ceremonial manner of her clan. The gesture made two things clear: Alexis was under no obligation to answer, and she apologized for speaking beyond her place

Alexis answered anyway.

“Because she was stupid.”

The reply was brief, brutal, and entirely without mercy.

Seraphina’s face remained impassive. She straightened and continued with the next matter.

“The Holt family is requesting permission for Merrick Holt to return. They say they can no longer bear to see the boy living outside the family.”

Merrick Holt?

Alexis needed a second to remember him. The name belonged to some insignificant young man who had offended Orion and Julian.

That detail did not matter.

By bringing the request directly to the Emperor, the Holts were not merely asking for one disgraced son. They were offering the loyalty of their entire family.

A rare smile touched Alexis’s mouth.

“Of course.”

The Imperial capital world enjoyed artificial spring throughout the year. Climate systems covered the entire metropolitan region, warm sunlight spilled across the city, and hover sports cars in every color raced along the elevated air lanes.

Merrick Holt reclined in the passenger compartment of a scarlet one, watching familiar streets slide past the window. A cold smile never left his lips.

His life had fallen apart after he framed Julian, was exposed across StarNet, and was exiled to serve in one of the poorest, most remote frontier regions.

In the capital, Merrick had been the Holt family’s privileged young heir. Anything he wanted had appeared in his hands.

Chapter 421 The Returned Son

The frontier had offered a different life. His superiors assigned him the most punishing dunes. Every supply package sent by his family was intercepted before it reached him. Some days, even finding enough food became a problem.

An invisible shackle-seemed to hold him there. Countless iron spikes pinned him in place, forcing him to survive in humiliation while clinging to whatever scraps of dignity remained.

And Julian?

Julian became Dr. R’s student, married Orion Ashford, and rose as the Empire’s first Omega Sovereign.

Each new report made Merrick’s vision darken. At last, he understood exactly where his misery came from.

He had begun to wonder whether he would spend the rest of his life trapped in that forgotten region.

Then fate played another cruel joke.

At the moment Merrick was finally sent to the battlefield and had nearly surrendered to despair, his family

new future waiting with open arms.

The criminal Merrick Holt no longer existed.

From this day forward, he would be Caspar Holt, the illegitimate son Corvo Holt had fathered outside the family and only recently brought home.

“Welcome back, young sir.”

At the entrance to the Holt ancestral estate, the family steward greeted Caspar with a warm, respectful smile.

Caspar almost stepped forward and embraced the man as he had in the past. Before he could, the steward’s expression turned serious.

“Your father and his guests have been waiting for quite some time. You know his temper. If you arrive any later…”

Caspar abandoned the idea immediately.

The Holt family resembled the Rockefellers in one important respect: both were dynasties built upon politics and commerce.

The Rockefellers, however, had taken control of the Imperial economy much earlier. Their leading Alpha- Omega pair was also unquestionably stronger, leaving the Holts to spend years beneath their shadow.

They needed only one opening.

That opening appeared to be waiting inside the estate.

“Father.”

Caspar entered the study. The familiar display of old-world rapiers still covered one wall.

The middle-aged man waiting inside had prominent cheekbones, a jaw as sharp as a knife cup, and an easy smile that rarely disappeared. This was Corvo Holt, Caspar’s father, the head of the family, and a 25-class Alpha.

“You’re home.”
