Chapter 311: Her Revenge Target
For the past few weeks, Carol has visited several places in search of the remains of the Duclan family members. Many members of the family were not executed by the imperial family at the time because they successfully escaped. Among them are elders and high-ranking commanders who remain loyal to the Duclan family and can only lament their fate that night.
Since then, these individuals have gone into hiding, not only from the Larson and imperial families but also from public attention. The Duclan name, once a source of pride, has been smeared by accusations, forcing them to conceal their identity as members of the family. Branded as traitors since that day, they are no longer seen as a respectable noble household.
They are the ones who believe that their family was betrayed by the Larson family. They all know there is no way Duke Duclan would have betrayed the empire by aiding the devils. For the Larsons to stab them in the back after they moved closer to Duclan family only proves that this betrayal was planned all along.
That’s why, when the young miss they thought had died that night suddenly returned with the hope of revenge, they immediately joined her. She is the last descendant and the final bloodline of the Duclan family. If she seeks revenge, they will gladly assist her. They are grateful for her return, as they have longed for vengeance but lacked the power and connections to act on it.
She returned with a plan and enough resources to strike down the Larson family. She informed them that she had an ally whose goals aligned with theirs.
"Alright, we successfully completed our mission today. We will continue our operation tomorrow. Although I’ve warned you many times, I will say it again—remember to be cautious when moving around. Don’t let the Larsons catch you. If you suspect that those bastards are onto your trail, head straight to the ambush point. Is that clear?"
"Yes, milady!" the people in the room responded in unison.
After that, everyone left the room except for Carol. She closed her eyes as if intending to take a nap. However, the door opened again, and she immediately opened her eyes. Standing before her was a man in a black robe—Ghulani, a former member of the Larson family’s intelligence organization.
Aldrian had sent Ghulani to assist Carol with intelligence matters. His presence made operations within the Larson Grand Duchy far easier than anyone had initially anticipated. However, many were skeptical of the man’s integrity and true intentions when they learned his identity. Someone who had once been part of the Larson intelligence organization was, understandably, a red flag. They were reluctant to place their trust in him too quickly.
