By the lake, the surroundings were quiet. Kiya sat on a small stool fishing while Gavin reported the situation in Abyanabad to him.
"...The Dowager Queen is not listening to Vincent Grant's advice and insists on holding power. I also found out that the real person in charge at the Imperial Palace is actually a 'cousin' from Gulit's family."
Gavin shared the information he had gathered with Kiya. The situation in Abyanabad was much more complicated than he had imagined.
"Cousin? What cousin?" Kiya asked, frowning.
Although Kiya was in Blackwood, he had always been concerned about the situation in Abyanabad. He was the Sultan of Abyanabad and couldn't bear to see the six-century-old legacy of the Abyanabad Royal Family destroyed.
"It's said to be a cousin from Gulit's maternal family. I also checked—since Gulit's birth mother had a low status and passed away early, there was no concrete information. Whether it's a real cousin or a fake one is unclear."
