"Do you admit to your crime, Jethro? You failed the mission to assassinate the King of Filren and used the heads of ordinary citizens to lie that you killed several of Filren's senior officials! You deserve the death penalty for that!" Kelvin roared."Someone must be trying to set me up, Mr. Andrews! They're trying to destroy our relationship. You have to believe me!" Jethro exclaimed. He didn't expect his act to get exposed.All along, he had remained hopeful that he could mislead the Andrews family long enough to find a chance to leave Dhord City. He would then cut off all ties with them. He didn't think they would discover the truth before he could enact his plan.He was already in the doghouse with the Andrews family. If Kelvin found out that he had lied as well, he was done for.Alas, Jethro regretted not fleeing from the start. At the very least, he could've stayed alive.Nevertheless, he certainly wasn't going to admit to his crime."Are you still trying to pretend you're

Avon knew the guards hadn't seen Balthazar as he was in another place. However, Jerry would surely ask him why he took Lyndon, so he had to come up with a plausible explanation.But once he recalled that Caspian was over at the King's residence with Jerry, he felt a little more confident.Thus, without any hesitation, he left with the guards to meet Jerry.Meanwhile, Laina snuck out from another exit with Lyndon in tow. Unfortunately, someone noticed her.One of the guards rushed to Kelvin in a panic."Sir, we've found Lyndon!" the guard shouted.Pleased by the news, Kelvin asked, "Well, where is he, then? Why didn't you catch him?""Someone from Life Force took him away," the guard said helplessly."How useless! You people couldn't even deal with someone from Life Force?" Kelvin growled."Sir, we also tracked down Jett Dunn. He seems to be doing something in secret," the guard reported.Enraged, Kelvin snarled. "What? The nerve of him! Why did he seize Lyndon?""Mr. Kelvin,

Meanwhile, Lyndon, who had just recovered, was fleeing while carrying Balthazar on his back. Laina hung back to fend off the guards who were coming after them.After Lyndon regained control of his mind, Laina informed him of everything that happened.Once Lyndon ran into the forest, Balthazar said weakly, "Lyndon, wait. We need to wait for Laina so that we can leave together."Balthazar had also regained his mental clarity, though he was still physically frail."Nothing matters more than your safety, Your Majesty. None of us are afraid of sacrificing our lives for your sake," Lyndon declared."Don't be ridiculous. Am I the kind of ruler who disregards the lives of his subjects? Just hold on for a bit longer. Caspian will surely come and save us," Balthazar said firmly.He was fully confident that Caspian would show up when they needed him the most.Lyndon had mixed feelings about that. He was the head of the guards in charge of protecting Balthazar, but at a crucial time like th

Kelvin had instructed Jethro to go after Lyndon, so why was he back alone and injured to boot?Lyndon was severely injured and hadn't fully recovered yet, so he couldn't have defeated Jethro.All sorts of questions swarmed Kelvin's mind."The situation's a little complicated, Mr. Kelvin. Let's talk somewhere else," Jethro said helplessly.Kelvin nodded before asking out of fake concern, "Shall I get a doctor to check your wound first, Mr. Roman?""This is an urgent matter, Mr. Kelvin. You don't have to worry about my injury. It's nothing," Jethro said.Kelvin and Jethro headed to a hidden chamber.The two villagers who came to report Jethro were locked in there. They were terrified when someone entered the room. They'd been tortured the whole time they'd been in here.However, when they saw that Jethro was injured, they were thrilled. He finally got what he deserved.Meanwhile, Kelvin and Jethro paid no attention to the two villagers."We were right, Mr. Kelvin. There are sev

After hearing the news, all the other countries were eager to see what would happen between Filren and Diatoran.They had been worried that Filren might back down at the last minute.Moreover, Diatoran's recent actions had left most people confused. That being said, with how strong Diatoran was, no one dared to do anything recklessly. Thus, Filren's declaration of war gave the other countries the chance to see what Diatoran was capable of.If Diatoran was weak without Caspian to oversee its army, the other countries would definitely team up with Filren as well.They wouldn't want to miss out on the chance to get a piece of Diatoran's vast territory!All at once, numerous countries began to silently dispatch troops to the borders of Diatoran. They were prepared to strike at any time.At the same time, Dax's deputy general led a group of soldiers into the army inspectors' quarters. The army inspectors were killed before they could even ask what was going on.Jerry had secretly com
