Chapter 547

Previously, Lyra thought that she would be able to ride on Magnus' coattails once she'd followed him. However, he was killed not long after that. So, she began to search around for new targets again. Not long ago, she succeeded in seducing the scion of the Strauss family, Kenny. The Strausses were ranked fifth among the families. But they were on the rise now that they'd cozied up to Charles to the point that they'd caught up to the Lloyds. Even the Baileys, who ranked second, had been overshadowed by them. Now, the Strausses were basking in the spotlight. All the other families submitted to them, and it even seemed as if they would replace the Lloyds. "Prince Charles is here!" Kenny led the others out in a hurry to greet him. "Welcome, Prince Charles!" he exclaimed. "Welcome, Prince Charles!" Everyone bowed to pay their respects. Those who didn't know better would have thought that they were paying homage to the king. Charles was a tall and burly man in his 30s with a beard.
