Marquis Alk was previously the tenth marquis of the Empire, known for being the youngest and shortest-tenured marquis, as well as the grandfather of Knight Girl Alisa.
The news proclaimed by the Empire Family to the public is that he went missing after exploring the Life Forbidden Zone.
However, according to the private intelligence sources of these marquises, Marquis Alk wasn't actively exploring the Life Forbidden Zone, but rather, he was forced into it with no escape after being pursued by a powerful adversary.
You should know that even the weakest marquis of the Empire is a Ninth Rank Powerholder who has mastered the rules. A 'Mysterious Powerholder' powerful enough to chase down Marquis Alk is likewise powerful enough to chase them down.
As for the true identity of this 'Mysterious Powerholder,' the many marquises have long speculated internally, but no one dares to voice it out loud.
