Chapter 222
While Ian and Romandro were refining the details of their plan, a message came from outside.
“Lord Ian. A messenger bird has arrived from outside the palace. It’s about Eric, the person in charge you inquired about. Shall I bring it in?”
“Bring it in.”
It was a preliminary situation report from the subordinate who had gone to Eric’s mansion. Ian unfolded the neatly folded note and read it. Romandro, curious, craned his neck from behind.
“What does it say? Was it really a carriage accident?”
“It was. According to Eric’s household servant, he had an accident on his way to work this morning and was moved to a nearby hospital. Fortunately, his life is not in danger, but the opinion is that he won’t be able to come to work until tomorrow. It was a major accident, enough for a carriage wheel to come off.”
“Tsk tsk! How could they involve an innocent person like this, really!”
“It’s Centra Hospital. They say they’ll go there to directly confirm Eric’s condition and then return.”
Ian carefully folded the note and placed it on the table. At this rate, even if the indictment were to be accepted somehow, it would take time for it to be referred to the general assembly. This was because it was Eric’s role to review whether the indictment was appropriate and to submit it to the general assembly.
