Chapter 108 — Broken Promise
Seated on his bed, Lucian lifted his gaze when he heard the door open.
"Have you called for me, Your Highness?.." Suyou hesitantly asked, his voice raspy. It was obvious he had been crying for a long time.
"I heard that you were by her side when she..." Lucian paused, unable to continue his sentence. Everything felt surreal, like a nightmare he couldn’t wake up from.
"That is true..."
"Is there anything she said? Perhaps... a wish?" Lucian’s voice was barely above a whisper, unexpectedly lower than the usual tone Suyou was accustomed to hearing.
At first, Lucian couldn’t trust this man. He always stood beside his sister like a well trained dog, ready to bite anyone who would bother his master. However, when he heard about her death, after feeling completely lost, only one thought crossed his mind. Perhaps it was a murder.
When he returned to the mansion, he heard Suyou was the one who had witnessed her last moments. A thought crossed his mind.
Perhaps he is the one who killed her?
However, when he saw the young man cry helplessly before her corpse, and during the funeral, Lucian had no choice but to dismiss the thought. No man would cry for someone they killed in such a manner.
Lucian snapped out of his thoughts, still waiting for Suyou’s answer which never came.
Suyou’s jaw tightened, his gaze shifting around the room as if he were trying to hide something.
