Chapter 78: The One He’s Been Hiding....
Acantha saw the duke, who was now waiting for her at the dining room, and she noticed that he looked like he didn’t get much sleep last night after what they talked.
"Are you alright, Father?" Acantha said as she tried to get the duke’s attention, who seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.
The duke just nodded at her as an answer, as he seems to be still looking at what was on his plate. She just sighed, as she knew the revelations last night seemed to shock him, knowing that the friend he was with might be a fraud.
After they finished eating their breakfast, her father went to his room after he excused himself. She looked at his back while he was walking.
Acantha left the dining room to go where Mildred was staying. She knew that even if she healed, her body still needed some rest after all those beatings she got from Evander, and who knows if his father was also beating Mildred.

Meanwhile at Triduexfort County~~~
The count went to check on their hostage to make sure his son killed her, but what he saw made his blood boil.
Their hostage was nowhere to be seen, and his son was asleep on the ground. He seemed like he was having a good sleep, which is unusual, as he knew his son doesn’t sleep like this.
There seems to be something odd with the way he sleeps, like he is having a peaceful dream.
Count Triduexfort clenches his hand as his son made a mistake, and now their hostage was gone.
