Chapter 107: A New Feeling
"To be honest, I really can’t help much in this case because as I told you all, we ended the case and locked the Portal Hall, no one ever mentioned the incident after that. So, I don’t know much about the incident to help you." The City Governor spoke as he let out a small sigh.
His response didn’t really make anyone happy and he probably noticed that too as he spoke again and this time with a little bit of excitement in his tone that immediately grabbed everyone’s attention.
"Though I personally can’t be of much help, in this case, you can try searching for clues in the Mortal Realm as I heard they conducted a really big investigation back then. Though they too eventually stopped after a couple of months, there were rumors that they did find some clues."
"Why did they stop investigating then?" Annalise found herself asking as it didn’t make sense for them to stop their investigation when they actually had some clues with them to sort out such a huge case.
The City Governor let out another sigh before he replied while shaking his head, "It’s hard to say as we don’t know much of the inside information of the Mortal Realm’s Royal Palace. Maybe they stopped for the same reason as ours."
It wasn’t clear whether the City Governor was pointing at the previous King and how he handled the case or it was just what Annalise end up thinking after hearing his last few words but it did seem like the Royals were deeply involved in these cases.
At this point, it was pretty much clear to everyone that the Incidents of the Portal Halls in both the Seelie Empire and Mortal Realm were way more mysterious and serious than they appeared.
And somehow, the mastermind behind these incidents had successfully invaded two of the Portal Halls without alerting the general public.
Annalise’s gaze landed on Kenric who gave her a little signal that she immediately understood. Nodding her head once, she joined her husbands as they all stood up from their seats, surprising the City Governor who seemed a little taken aback to see them all suddenly standing up at once.
"Thank you for all your help and we would like to apologize for disturbing your evening. We will be taking our leave now." Valerius spoke as the City Governor followed their suit and also stood up.
"How about staying the night here and having dinner at my home, My Lords and Your Highness?" The old man offered with hopeful eyes and it seemed like he genuinely wanted them to join him for the dinner.
"Maybe some other time." Valerius was quick to decline the offer with his soft and warm smile that probably made the old man feel just as nice as it used to make Annalise.
