Chapter 210: Scouting for information (3)
’This bitch is indeed here.’
Hex waited through the night, hidden in the darkest corner he could find. He didn’t mind wasting so many hours that could have been spent scouting other areas.
When the door of the Vice-Captain opened close to dawn, a figure slipped out. She used the dark corridor to enter her room, three doors from the Vice-Captain’s room.
Despite the darkness, Hex recognized her at once. Her seductive figure, curious eyes, and innocent eyes were imprinted in his mind. She didn’t leave an impression on Hex because of her features but her act of betrayal.
’Old man Ivran died because of her. In a way, she also caused Wallen’s demise.’
Hex gritted his teeth but suppressed the urge to confront her. Besides, her presence here intrigued him.
’I bet my soul, she is here on the Divine Lord’s orders. Only he has the resources to infiltrate this royal camp without creating any suspicions.’
He didn’t spend much time with Briella but she lived inside the baron’s castle for some time during the competition of Grindeston. She was a lively person and was nice to him. Her last-moment betrayal impacted their battle extremely. She switched sides and joined the Dawnbringers, hoping to improve her fortune under the Divine Lord’s guidance.
The appearance of Solos and Ericka during the governor’s feast, the sight of the toddler, who Hex suspected to be the Divine Lord, and now the presence of Briella in the secret base, all pointed toward a conspiracy against the royals, hatched by the Dawnbringers.
