Though no open battle had yet occurred, the air was thick with tension, the scent of war hanging over the city. The city gates were now under constant scrutiny. It was unlikely that the true mastermind behind the rebellion would stay away from the capital. His life and wealth were at stake, so how could…

While waiting for news from Jeremiah, Sophie visited Zoey in prison. This time, she had Randall bring Zoey to the back courtyard of the Supreme Court, where they had some meat porridge prepared for her. Zoey looked terribly worn-her face gaunt and her body frail, with large eyes that seemed devoid of life. As she…

Helen quickly stepped forward, gently patting her sister’s back to comfort her. “Don’t worry so much. Stress can sometimes make you feel like you’re about to cough up blood. I feel that way too, at times.” Victoria shot her a look. That kind of comfort was worse than none at all. Sophie was able to…

There was no doubt in his mind that Sophie spoke the truth. Two things made it clear. First, lan and his men had been constantly patrolling the river.

The man is closely connected to Prince Nicholas, and according to our investigation, all of Prince Nicholas’ charitable expenditures in Nerovia are funded by him,” said Claire. The man Gerald had asked Sophie to look into was named Clifford Murphy. One of the Murphy family’s ancestors had once fought alongside the…

Violet suddenly looked up at Bun, her expression sharp. “If it seems like there’s something, could it be that someone wants us to see on purpose? The flaws are too obvious, but after it was exposed, they’ve patched everything up, not letting us see anything.” Bun rubbed his temples, his lean face taking on a…
