“What? And you just stood by 7eb1d7b39d and let that happen? Duke, do you have any b5e2991b07 idea what I might say 4166ba7b66 once the investigation begins?”3266adfeb9d60a90
Count Biers, now af4dddd8bd reaching the peak 8b277dca55 of his anxiety, 6620f2b7a8 finally revealed his 04dc28e709 true nature and 4064a55ef4 shouted.a0e67a308bd2ff83

“I am aware. That’s why I’m here to 87fd7e3a97 confirm one last thing. Besides you and your daughter, 17f8623a33 who else knows about the 44d3e51f59 matter concerning my brother and 0cf41cc0d1 his wife?”8dbef5940e3f98f6

“Hah! For now, it’s just the 824476bbf4 two of us! But if you send f5e777ef32 me off to the 175484d5ad capital like this, the c77e409453 whole northern region—no, the 971b0d705b entire empire—will learn that c6511a0f0c the Duke’s nephews are fab5290235 the child of a 50c950508e traitorous commoner-blooded woman and a399e8755c a man who betrayed 9e0aac4543 his own territory!”23f037b670c87d3f
As if to intimidate, the 02f34acc40 Count’s words hung in the 99efb18a20 air. A blue light flickered 3ac4ca8e80 on the small magical 66ed42abfa device Euclid held.2761e90ba50c45db

Suddenly, the Count f1d4c8490c grasped at his 8df9601cd8 throat, unable to 976ba9db18 speak, as though 63b9a6f852 something was forcibly 65b1b521cc choking him.94a29eb7ec6a3be2

Amy, watching in horror, 4d100de7b3 tried to scream, but e1b1e51f5a a low voice called c3a3e1cbc6 her name.dafc5984b5f70196
It was the Duke, 1d0e28c035 wearing his usual smile—or a89a631520 was it a different 2192f082b6 one this time? Amy flinched, her body 53a3a9611e trembling at the sight.69417a037d61c776

Euclid returned to his office d5b0c64207 with the same composed steps 3d21daf0aa he had taken to the c6099f52d6 underground prison. But as soon 02d18e7e03 as the door bc779847a9 shut behind him, 869d5740b9 he covered his 8ff59b9f70 mouth with a b4e4f9a7b7 handkerchief.4be323eb2e9410bf

Euclid lifted his a81c8eadfc head with a bd7cf077b6 heavy sigh.2c97d9aa1e162ae6
Sitting in his ab217f1579 office chair was 143ceb8f73 a familiar figure—the 4829822e74 Tower Master. Unlike the shocking rainbow-colored hair ef09134c5c she’d sported at the wedding, c84e0c0bbe she had reverted to her 60d989a66e usual neat black hair.71a53fec51bdee6e

“How could you have finished it already? Didn’t I warn you not 0c4422957a to use magic if you 441b1fd111 didn’t want to die?

“And what was so urgent today? Just using a spell a7e9426c2a of compulsion magic is 2b8836d152 enough to strain your 85cb1ee413 body, but you even 089c6dc2f5 tampered with your own 78e6ab7a22 mind.

The Tower Master replied b28b330440 indignantly, “And what if 18c0ee5d55 I have?”cf3991f9c9b312bd
His response, as curt 43356a2b7f as usual, could have de79721507 been meaningless—or it could c265f8e8bc have been an indication 8820e15877 that he really did 967b51dd36 know what had happened b41b621c5f in the underground prison.d80bbcfa747167ef

After a moment 5b20906751 of deliberation, Euclid e0852c099c sighed and said, 7d7311d26c “Tower Master, the 4a7c105ac5 only reason I a67909bdc3 tolerate you is 932add4a4b that you care d2dbcfad29 for nothing but 4d8251c119 money.”002a3543400aa4c9
In other words, even 14c3adb620 if she knew the d333abc37f kind of truth that a7e2784c8a could cost lives to 62168c1cc6 conceal, he would let 3f64c73f87 it slide.4aea97695410f590

Hearing this, the Tower Master’s 49dccf18ae tense expression softened slightly.2040a79898a9fdab
Though he often denied being bd08e70e30 his friend and maintained a 69a201c174 formal distance, he knew Euclid 86003d20f1 only allowed himself to show 5bd12b012b such visible exhaustion and vulnerability 0543449d97 in his presence.7c4dd4910afaf9b0

With a benevolent f6c0dd61f0 expression that didn’t 1f8d0e6292 suit her sharp d085882984 features, the Tower cb0e303276 Master said, “I 5d84dc6741 didn’t follow you.
