Chapter 807: The Identity of the Traitor. The hidden truth. The Inevitable Result.
[Someone broke in and killed the soldiers, eventually murdering Duke Neto La Lili!]
As soon as Davey heard the news, he confirmed that an intruder had infiltrated the villa, took down all remaining enemies, and then returned to the castle.
The scene was miserable. He could tell that someone hadn’t destroyed the place by sheer force alone.
“By the time I got there to assess the situation, it was already…,” said Marquis Peiltris, fully armed, speaking calmly. “But don’t worry. We’re already tracking the culprit. We’ll catch their trace in no time.”
“Their trace, you say…?” Davey muttered.
There were two soldiers and a knight lay dead on the ground. Inside a cage, Duke La Lili was hanging by the arms with his head sagged down lifelessly as if his soul had left him.
Swoosh!
Davey swung the door open and rushed inside, placing his hands on the Duke’s body. There were no visible wounds—it was as if his very soul had left his body hollow.
He stood in front of the Duke for a while. Eventually, he noticed something subtle on the ground in front of the Duke’s body.
