Chapter 239: Entering the Imperial Palace"Did he not realize what he had just done?" Lorenzo thought as he bowed his head.
"I apologize, Sir Aldrian, for my behavior. I acted impulsively, driven by your brilliance. Nevertheless, congratulations on your breakthrough to the next stage," he said to Aldrian. As for what he had just experienced, he did not want to know, nor did he dare to ask. He felt it was too presumptuous of him. The lingering feeling of awe made him believe he was not even worthy of asking anything from Aldrian.
Aldrian looked at Lorenzo, who seemed reluctant to discuss what had just happened. He, too, had no desire to bring it up, so he decided to let it be. However, inwardly, he was more stunned by his sudden breakthrough. He had now entered the new stage—the Low Marquess stage! A newfound surge of power coursed through his body and even his mind, a sensation unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
He felt that he could accomplish much more, both within and beyond his domain. New inspirations had already begun to take shape in his refreshed mind after this breakthrough. This filled him with happiness but also left him wondering—how had a moment of self-comprehension enabled him to break through to the next stage? Based on the amount of energy he had accumulated before, he would have needed at least eight more months to reach the Marquess stage.
This was new to him because, until now, he had believed that only by expanding his domain could he accelerate the speed of his cultivation.
"Sir Aldrian, regarding Wei Zhi..." Lorenzo’s voice broke Aldrian’s train of thought, prompting him to respond.

Aldrian nodded and, without hesitation, entered the carriage before it was covered with a blank white tarpaulin. Inside, Aldrian could only wait, unable to see outside due to the tarpaulin, but he could still sense his surroundings, so it didn’t matter much.
After the carriage had been moving for more than 30 minutes, it stopped, and Aldrian heard the imperial guards checking the outside of the carriage. However, one of the guards seemed intent on checking the inside as well.
"What are you doing?!" the driver shouted.
"We still have to check it thoroughly," the imperial guard replied.
"Are you crazy?! As I told you, this carriage contains necessities for His Majesty, and it needs to be delivered as soon as possible without anyone touching it! Do you want to take responsibility if something happens to the supplies? What if something goes wrong? If you want to die, don’t drag me into it, because if anything happens, you and I will be the first to fall!"
The imperial guard’s sweat began to bead, and only then did he abandon his intention.
"I’m sorry, you’re clear to go," the imperial guard said.
After that, the carriage continued on its way and finally came to a stop after a few minutes.
"Sir, we have arrived," the driver’s voice resonated.
Aldrian then stepped out of the carriage and raised his eyebrows upon seeing someone already standing near it. He had never seen this man before, but he instantly recognized that the face was just a disguise. Because Aldrian knew at once that this man was none other than the First Prince himself!
