"Aldric!"
Ragan rushed toward him and dropped to his knees, quickly checking his condition.
In an instant, his expression darkened.
"This is bad," he muttered through clenched teeth.
Aldric's spine was broken, and his arm was dislocated. The force of the blow should have been fatal.
Fortunately, Aldric's body was very strong, so such injuries did not threaten his life.
Even so, Ragan refused to be careless. He turned to the two guards nearby and ordered, "Take Aldric to the medical room, and summon Dalas immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" they replied before carefully lifting Aldric's heavy body.
As they carried him away, Ragan stood there, his expression filled with frustration.
If the attacker had been anyone else, he would have launched a full-scale pursuit and enforced the death penalty without hesitation.
But this was the Singularity of Chaos—a figure beyond his reach. Confronting him would only bring ruin to himself and the Empire.
