The person who came is Leonor, the current sister of the Soladin Kingdom’s king.

And from Henry’s perspective, the other party is his aunt.

The point is, she is a royal member with high-tier transcendent strength, second in influence only to his father.

"Aunt, just now Brigadier Gregory told me that the necromancy crystal we barely got back was stolen in the military department...."

Immediately, Henry started to tell Leonor all that happened, including how he managed to get the necromancy crystal in the Lankote Snowfield.

Leonor listened with a graceful smile, and after Henry finished speaking, she said elegantly, "I came over to commend you. You did well in this matter, the theft of the necromancy crystal is not your fault."

"Although we lost the necromancy crystal, we managed to uncover a mole who has been planted in our kingdom’s high ranks for a long time."

"Additionally, this will not affect your rating. Moreover, you captured Nightmare Blade’s Olaf, and I believe your appointment to Earl should not face much opposition within the kingdom."

"By the way, you mentioned the young man who helped you is named Raine, are you very familiar with him?" Leonor asked seemingly unintentionally at this moment.

Actually, this was the main purpose of Leonor’s visit.

The report Henry submitted mentioned the acquisition of the necromancy crystal and the capture of Extraordinary Shield Warrior Olaf, but glossed over many details, which Leonor naturally found odd.

Because it was unlikely for Henry, with the strength of personnel he brought from the royal capital, to achieve such a victory.

In fact, it would be good enough if they weren’t crushed.

Clearly, there were other reasons for Henry’s fruitful outcome this time.

Although her brother has two princes and one princess, she favored this illegitimate son of her brother the most.

Leonor didn’t want Henry to be used.

"Raine? Of course I’m familiar! He’s my brother!" Henry patted his chest heavily and said loudly, raising his head, "Aunt, let me tell you..."

Henry immediately began to introduce Raine enthusiastically.

And Leonor watched Henry’s expression at this moment, her smile becoming more radiant.

She knew all too well her brother’s illegitimate son, her nephew’s character—’not bad, just likes to brag.’

However, if it weren’t for his skill with words, he wouldn’t have won over so many noble ladies, which is very much like his father.

"Is this his information?" Leonor picked up the documents on the table while listening.

"Yes, Aunt."

"Good, things in Dorne City, having this good brother helping you, I can rest easy." Leonor put down the documents and nodded.

"No problem! Wait, Aunt, do you mean you’re not going to deploy kingdom powerhouses for me anymore?" Henry suddenly picked up a hint from his aunt’s tone and quickly asked.

He knew that upon returning to the royal capital, besides submitting the necromancy crystal and escorting Olaf to Rapids Castle prison, he immediately applied to his aunt for assistance from two transcendent strong persons to deal with Nightmare Blade’s possible follow-up actions and to restore the kingdom’s actual control over Dorne City.

"The commercial alliance in Winterless City, and the kingdom have had multiple conflicts at the border, we’re basically certain it’s backed by that one’s will. The kingdom has decided to eliminate all affiliate forces within its borders as determined these past two days."

"The Soladin Kingdom may be small, but is not something a divine being’s incarnation can easily overthrow."

"Under such circumstances, your actions in Dorne City should not be greatly hindered. I’ve received news, Nightmare Blade’s main members are in Bornberry. Rest assured, they shouldn’t trouble you."

"Aunt, in that case... alright! However, could you give me some money? Or, maybe a few rare-tier magic equipment?"

Henry recalled Raine’s expression when he saw the black crystal card, and immediately thought of something.
