Chapter 29: Casualties Tally
Shortly after the woman had died from grief, the Crimson Guards followed the direction that Mirelle discovered to retrieve the deceased Maddie.
Maddie was only a child at the tender age of 4. When her body was retrieved and placed near her mother, the atmosphere turned sorrowful.
"Is there a way to reattach the severed arm back to the child’s body?" Leonard raised the question.
"It’s possible." Mirelle nodded. Reattaching was easy to do. It was just that even if it was reattached, the child wouldn’t come back to life.
Sometime later, the severed arm was attached to Maddie’s body, allowing her to become complete again.
Once that was done, Leonard made sure to dispatch the Crimson Guards to retrieve everybody that had yet to be discovered and count them.
Blood had dried on the cobblestones as bodies continued to pile up and were counted.
Leonard’s expression gradually turned cold. He expressed fury and anger as he had Mirelle manipulate his body to float in the air.
By floating in the air, he had ensured every person in the perimeter could see him clearly.
"Today’s tragic incident stemmed from a slave merchant who failed to monitor their slaves. I, Crown Prince of Aldros, promise everyone here that I will investigate the bottom of this incident. This included the capital guards in charge of patrolling for allowing major casualties to happen within the capital of Aldros Empire." He declared thunderously.
"I don’t care how powerful or influential they are. If I find even a sliver of involvement, they will have to answer to me."
When Leonard finished his powerful declaration, it was quickly followed by loud applause and approval.
