Chapter 288: Distress (2)
“He slipped and fell in an accident?!” Iliya suddenly jumped out from her seat, completely freaking out.
The news she received was like a bolt out of the blue. Just before this, she had been waiting for Dowd at the dinner table for a while, feeling bored because there was no sign of him coming. But this news just made her lose her composure instantly.
“Then, did you find him—?!”
“M-Milady, you don’t have to be so panicked.”
The servant, Russ, tried his best to calm Iliya down in a flustered voice as she looked like she almost lost half of her mind.
“All the available personnel in the territory are scouring through the surrounding area. They should find him by tonight at the latest.”
“But still—!”
“You don’t know Dowd well enough, it seems”
At that moment, a composed voice came from next to Iliya, completely contrasting her flustered state.
