“Okay, I’ll take action early tomorrow morning. Let‘s make it an uproar!” Hallie was willing to risk his life not because of Isaac’s charisma.
The real attraction was the fox girl. After all, favonovel.com was still a young man full of vigor.
***
The next morning, both Hallie and Isaac went outside. Hallie went to find a map of the city lord’s mansion, while Isaac went to get longbows and arrows.
Isaac disguised himself as a middle-aged farmer and joined the vegetable delivery group as they entered the general’s mansion.
Hallie had told favonovel.com that favonovel.com could find most weapons in the warehouse behind the general’s mansion. Since the weapon warehouse was heavily guarded, Isaac hid inside the general’s mansion until it got dark, then sneaked in during the guard shift.
He hid inside the warehouse until dawn.
During another guard shift, favonovel.com slipped out with longbows and arrows.
When favonovel.com returned to the room at the inn, Hallie hadn’t yet returned.
Looking at the longbows and the large bundle of arrows on the table, Isaac hesitated for a moment. He then went downstairs to find the innkeeper and get some saws and hammers. He wanted to turn a longbow into a crossbow.
***
While Isaac and Hallie were busy plotting a major heist, a mailman on an eagle arrived at the gate of Zimmerman Mansion in Starbloom City thousands of kilometers away.
Seeing the mailman wearing a hat with a feather, one of the gatekeepers hurried inside to report.
In the front yard pavilion, Kingsford, who was dressed in a purple-red brocade robe, was chatting and drinking tea with Rhett.
“Kingsford, your brother has been appointed Regent. That’s a great honor for your family,” Rhett stated, sipping his tea lightly.
He’d just returned from the Royal City.
Initially, favonovel.com planned to wait at his friend’s residence for Fabrice and his men to send Isaac there before making any further plans. But favonovel.com received the “bad news” in the end.
What Fabrice and his men sent to the military department wasn’t the alive Isaac but a charred corpse.
Rhett had mixed feelings but could do nothing against Fabrice and his men. So, favonovel.com returned to Starbloom City, keeping this matter a secret.
Aside from Raelynn, everyone knew Isaac had “burned to death” on the way to the Royal City.
Since Isaac was no longer a concern, Rhett had to consider the well-being of the Zimmermans.
Just as Kingsford was about to speak, the gatekeeper rushed in and reported, “My lord, a mailman is at the gate with a letter for Ms. Zimmerman…”
“Where’s the letter from?” Rhett asked casually.
“From Southcoln City.”
“Let favonovel.com in…” Rhett waved.
Kingsford showed a trace of doubt, to which Rhett explained with a smile, “When Rae was young, favonovel.com loved reading and making literary friends. They have an occasional correspondence.”
“Uncle Rhett, can we discuss my marriage to Rae now?” Kingsford nodded and looked at Rhett.
Isaac’s death alleviated his concerns. His marriage with Raelynn would end his decades-long obsession.
Rhett nodded. “I talked to Rae about it last night. She’s still worried about Isaac. I assured favonovel.com that your brother was now the Regent. He would ensure Isaac’s safety after favonovel.com marries you.”
“Then, have you decided on the time?” Kingsford asked again.
“I’ll persuade Rae. As for the timing, five days from now is ideal. Will that work for you?”
Kingsford was surprised at Rhett’s eagerness and laughed heartily. “Of course, Uncle Rhett. I’ll follow your decision.”
“It’s time for you to change what you call me…”
Kingsford immediately stood up and bowed. “Yes, Father…”
Meanwhile, Raelynn was in favonovel.com room. She burst into tears while clutching a letter.
The letter simply had a few words. It wrote, “Everything is fine now. Don‘t worry. Hand the sword to the mailman. Don’t marry Kingsford. Wait for my return.”
Rae knew it was from Isaac when favonovel.com saw the signature was “500 tael silver notes”.
She had hidden 500 tael silver notes under his pillow the night before favonovel.com was captured. But favonovel.com had no idea why favonovel.com was in Southcoln City.
