Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3216

The long-haired man grinned. "You really are Reginald's son. That annoying tone is exactly like his. Anyway, my name is Nate Hearst, from the Hearstland!"

Andrew let out an "Oh," then continued, "So you're from the Hearst royal family, which means you're part of the main Hearst line. In that case, please step aside. I don't want to create bad blood."

Nate kept smiling. "Andrew, a young man like you shouldn't be talking so big. You're just going to get yourself in trouble with that mouth of yours."

Andrew raised an eyebrow. "The Lloyd royal family has always stayed out of the affairs of the other two families. Besides, Mr. Franz Hearst is from your family, right? Out of respect for him, there's nothing wrong with me talking like this, is there?"

Nate shook his head. "Franz isn't all that important in the Hearst family, but you probably don't know that. To a certain extent, he barely has any connection to the family. Otherwise, why do you think he'd be working for the military?"

Andrew narrowed his eyes. "So you're saying he isn't well-regarded in your Hearst family, or are you saying you look down on Mr. Hearst?"

Nate shook his head. "It's not about looking down on him or not. Besides sharing the same last name as me, and don't get angry, but there really isn't much else connecting us."

He continued, "I represent the interests of the Hearst royal family, our clan's unchanging authority and deterrence on this land. He, on the other hand, became a marginal figure within the Hearst family the moment he chose to serve the military and dedicate himself to people outside the family."

Andrew sneered. "Isn't serving the military the same as serving this country? The way you talk makes it sound like your family's interests are above the entire nation of Holtrien."

Nate paused for a moment, then actually nodded. "Actually, you're not wrong about that. You're probably aware of the origins of the Hearst family. In terms of history, we're first among the three royal families, and we far exceed your family by who knows how much. When the first unified dynasty appeared in this land, our family had already been born.
