Chapter 43:
“My lord, I feel the rumors seem to have some bias.”
In the city ruins shrouded by the Astral Shadow, Murphy and Maxim hurried through one lifeless street after another towards the family vault in the outer city.
As they proceeded, Maxim, gripping a war pike, cautiously surveyed their surroundings for potential attacks while softly saying to Murphy:
“Lady Tris does not seem as rumored. I mean, she is very domineering! Even more domineering than Lord Jed. After you rescued her from the city, she seems to have regained her former dignity as an elder.”
“I don’t know what happened either, but one thing is certain. Tris absolutely hates this city.”
Murphy sighed:
“She sees it as a constraint. To put it bluntly, after witnessing the devastation of Kadman City, Tris and I are probably the only two Blood Vulture members who feel relieved.
Does this make you uncomfortable?”
“No, my lord, my loyalty lies with you, not the Blood Vulture Clan.”
