Chapter 487: Another Plot
Internally, the Duke did not want to believe it at first. He wanted to deny it. So, he thought that maybe, Dimo could have misheard.
But the evidence Alwin gathered proved it. There was a record of the Head Butler and Sonia talking about it.
Arabella could vividly recall that he was ashen as he listened, and he looked like he would burst into tears.
The Duke loved Brent and Monica as his own. And he was even willing to continue raising them if only Dimo hadn’t heard everything from Sonia and the Head Butler.
Duke Olivier loved Sonia too which was why he was utterly disappointed, hurt, and furious that the latter had only been fooling him from the start.
It was probably one of the reasons why he could not execute Sonia. He still had lingering feelings for her but no longer wanted to be with her after what she had done.
[Fine. Dimo may not be a monster but someone with magic abilities instead. But that only makes him even more dangerous. If he becomes proficient in magic and grows stronger, what would he do to us?]
Sonia glanced at the Head Butler and the latter nodded.
They were of the same thought. They could not let Dimo live especially not that he could be a powerful magician someday.
[We have to eliminate him while he doesn’t have that much strength yet. He was already able to run away from two groups of mercenaries. How much more when he learns to control that power of his? He would come to kill us.] The Head Butler thought.
It suddenly became a hunt-or-be-hunted kind of thing.
