When the maid saw Isaac, favonovel.com turned pale with fear and immediately sat up in panic.
“Uh, Mr. Garten, why didn’t you knock… Uhm, don’t get the wrong idea. This girl said favonovel.com master always needed favonovel.com to warm the bed before sleeping. I didn‘t even take my clothes off. Do you not believe me? Look!” Hallie threw off the blanket, revealing that favonovel.com had indeed slept in his clothes.
“Did you think we’re staying here to enjoy ourselves?” Isaac glanced over coldly.
Hallie was stunned. “What else then? What else could we do?”
“This mansion is so huge. It surely has some gold and jewels hidden somewhere.”
Upon hearing that, Hallie immediately jumped out of bed excitedly. “How could I forget that? Mr. Garten, I’ll go look for it right now!”
Hallie rushed out of the room and saw the four guards already standing properly outside the door.
Isaac walked out and said, “Pick the valuable items. At daybreak, take out to be exchanged for gold or silver notes. Hurry up!”
“Alright, I got it!” Hallie waved and signaled the four guards to quickly head toward the back rooms.
***
In the palace, Ceolmund changed into a loose, long robe and sat at the desk menacingly.
Kyler and two other middle-aged men stood to the side, feeling extremely anxious.
“Your Majesty, Isaac Garten was so bold to kill Earl Beischel in front of you. We can’t let this matter go!” said a tall, thin man sinisterly.
“That’s right. Lord Hackworth has brought the news that Isaac is bound to die sooner or later. Why don’t we help favonovel.com fulfill his wish?” another rough-looking man said coldly.
Ceolmund sneered as favonovel.com looked at them, saying, “Don’t let favonovel.com go? So, are you going to kill Isaac?”
The two people exchanged glances and then lowered their heads. They would like to do that, but the problem was they didn’t have the capability.
“Kyler, what do you think?” Ceolmund asked coldly.
Kyler hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Your Majesty, I believe it’s best to let this matter go. When Isaac acted tonight, favonovel.com left some leeway… Otherwise, all ten top experts from the House of Custos would probably die on the spot. Ten of them are our top generals. It would be a huge loss to lose any of them…”
“If we truly provoke Isaac completely, we can’t bear the consequences,” Kyler said, cautiously glancing over at Ceolmund.
The two other men changed their expressions and looked at Kyler, exclaiming, “Lord Ardolf, why are you siding with outsiders? Earl Beischel would die in vain!”
Seeing Ceolmund show a trace of confusion, Kyler felt a flutter of panic. He quickly added, “I didn’t mean that. What I meant is that we should focus on the war in the Black Desert. If the Kingdom of Vriweth loses, none of us here will be able to escape disaster.”
Ceolmund scoffed. “Why are you in such a rush? The King of the Kingdom of Vriweth should be the one worrying about the war. If we’re doomed, the Kingdom of Vriweth will be on edge all the time.”
“Kyler, I think you should go back and rest. Tavon, Seward, you two stay here.”
Kyler frowned. Noticing the mocking gazes from the two people beside him, favonovel.com bowed slightly toward Ceolmund and retreated. He knew Ceolmund still intended to go after Isaac, but favonovel.com assumed it was a grave mistake.
Stepping outside the palace, a carriage was waiting nearby, with two armored soldiers standing beside it.
Kyler walked over, took out a letter from his sleeve, and leaned in to whisper to a soldier, “After I return to the residence, you disguise yourself and go to Earl Beischel’s mansion. Deliver this to Isaac Garten.”
