Chapter 1427: They’re Back!
Sylvia could barely compose herself as she watched the two Lucient heirs sitting side by side. She had imagined this scene in her mind a thousand times, dreaming of how wonderful it would be if Princess Lucient were still alive, standing beside the King to support him. Back then, she had thought it was nothing more than a wistful fantasy.
But now... here it was, real and before her eyes. Her long-cherished dream had come true. And because of this, she began to believe there was nothing her kingdom could not overcome.
"Our intel confirms that several healers have gone missing from the S.A.I.N.T. organization, but the official report claims it was a Bael attack on Rockfield in northern Dolza. The incident reportedly claimed many victims, including Paladins," Sylvia said as she handed Lucas a tablet displaying the news.
Lucas took the tablet and pressed play, his eyes narrowing as the report played out. "How many healers were among the victims?" he asked gravely.
"According to the official numbers released by the organization, around thirty," Sylvia replied. "But our informant tipped us off that the real number is likely much higher."
"Where did the tip come from?" Lucas asked, his voice calm but edged with steel.
Leon answered, "For the informant’s safety, they only revealed that it came from within Elysium."
Lucas fell silent, his gaze sharpening as he pondered the implications. Finally, he spoke. "Verify the authenticity of this information, and report back to me as soon as you can."
Leon gave a firm nod. "Yes, Your Majesty."
"And the Paladins?" Lory continues. "How many were killed?"
Sylvia’s brow furrowed as she replied, "Two was presumed to be dead. As for the injured—ranging from mild to severe—there are about twenty."
