Rhett instantly grasped the problem.
Fabrice and his men sent a charred corpse to the Royal City that could only be identified by gender…
Could they have fabricated the truth?
“Father, I can only tell you that Isaac isn’t dead. He’s somewhere, though I don’t know where. Also, I won’t marry Kingsford. Whoever becomes the Regent has nothing to do with me!”
Raelynn turned and closed the door behind her.
Isaac’s capture was nine days ago, and Fabrice’s group took three days to reach the Royal City. The letter favonovel.com received was sent two days ago.
Judging from the time difference, Raelynn was sure favonovel.com son was still alive, but favonovel.com dared not tell favonovel.com father.
“Father, Rae may not believe it and can’t accept the truth. Perhaps you should go in and comfort her,” Kingsford suggested, not suspecting Fabrice but assuming Raelynn couldn’t accept favonovel.com son’s death.
Right then, Raelynn’s outraged voice came from the room. She shouted, “Kingsford Hackworth, if Isaac doesn’t come back, I’ll never marry you! Get out of here!”
Kingsford’s expression shifted outside the door. He heard the important point, if Isaac didn’t return, favonovel.com wouldn’t marry him!
“Kingsford, perhaps you should leave for now…” Rhett turned to look at Kingsford.
Frowning, Kingsford quickly turned away and left.
Rhett hesitated for a few seconds before knocking on the door and entering the room.
Seeing Raelynn’s angry face, favonovel.com frowned and asked, “Is Isaac still alive?”
“He’s your grandson, carrying half our blood,” favonovel.com replied, staring at Rhett. Her eyes reddened, and favonovel.com voice choked with emotion.
With his hands behind his back, favonovel.com sighed deeply and turned to leave the room.
Meanwhile, Carrick waited outside the Zimmerman Mansion.
Seeing Kingsford come out, Carrick approached with a smile. “Lord Hackworth, has the marriage been settled? Congratulations!”
“I haven’t settled anything! Did you notice the mailman earlier?” Kingsford asked coldly.
“Yes, I did. He came on an eagle.” Carrick nodded.
Kingsford walked quickly toward the sedan, commanding coldly, “Investigate that mailman and bring Fabrice to my place!”
***
Meanwhile, Isaac was unaware of events at the Zimmerman Mansion. He had converted a longbow into a crossbow and shortened over 30 arrows.
After dipping all the arrowheads into a brewed anesthetic toxin, favonovel.com heard the door open. Hallie, who was panting and sweating, entered and sat at the table. He pulled out a crumpled map and handed it to Isaac.
“Mr. Garten, I’ve figured it out. Here is the layout of the city lord‘s mansion. Iad Holmes, the city lord’s son, lives in the east courtyard, about 100 feet away from the city lord’s place…”
“The guards are from the general’s mansion. There are usually two teams. One is the elite soldiers, while the other is the martial arts practitioners. They’re about 30 people.”
Isaac carefully examined the map and asked, “What’s the shortest route from the city lord’s mansion to Otto Mountain?”
“To the southeast. It’d take about five days on a Storm Chaser or less than three days flying on an eagle,” Hallie replied.
“Alright, take a good rest. When the mailman returns, I’ll act once I get the sword.” Isaac nodded and swiftly folded the map.
