“I didn’t think it necessary to kill him, so I removed him from his position as personal physician and had him work as an ordinary royal doctor, under surveillance. If he misspeaks and tarnishes the honor of the ancestral duke, I will deal with him immediately.”
He probably knew what to do. Cassard simply snickered, knowing Attila cared more about his father’s honor than he did.
“Is the current imperial law actually treating a timely insult as defamation?”
“You coldhearted bastard……”
“Anyway, the informant seems to be somehow connected to the real criminal, but it’s not easy to catch the tail.”
“If the tail is hard, catch the head? The Emperor died on the day Ezra disappeared. What do you think that means?”
Cassard also suspected that if someone had interfered, it would be the first prince and the Pedellimid family who supported him, or the Tesia Empire. The initial investigation was a mess, so no solid evidence had been secured yet.
“If Ezra knew all the facts, there would have been enough motive for murder.”
“Yes. But finding him is just as hard on your end. You were initially pushing for the crown prince’s abdication while I was at Ecol Parsad. Rather, the ancestral duke was watching Ezra, but it suddenly turned around with his sudden death.”
True. At that time, Cassard was at the military academy with Attila, so he didn’t know what his father was up to.
With weary eyes slightly closed, Cassard put down more than half of his burnt cigar and took up his black tea. The tea he usually enjoyed with his cigar felt bland today.
“We still don’t know how he was killed. Seeing that we haven’t reached out to a doctor named Roeagal.”
“That doctor is one of your subjects, so monitor and protect him yourself. I’ll find Ezra.”
Cassard, still with downcast eyes, said nothing. Attila put his cigar down next to Cassard’s and raised a glass of single malt whiskey, smiling broadly.
“Your father is also my father. If Ezra really did it, I’ll tear him to pieces and kill him.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]In the capital of the Great Parsad Empire, the premium townhouses in the heart of Corb. It was a temporary residence used only during the social season when spring flowers were in full bloom, but it was a luxurious housing complex built to reflect the uniqueness and prestige of each of the ten families.
Among them, the ducal residence of Blahnath stood out with its overwhelming size and prestige.
Even though the social season had already ended before the real heat began, the nobles of the ten families who stayed late at the townhouses to attend the emperor’s funeral and the subsequent crown prince’s coronation began packing and leaving one by one after the coronation.
Housekeeper Tuan, who had joined from Conwell, was also waiting for the duke’s permission to depart after packing all the luggage. His master, however, had been putting off returning to Conwell.
Cassard, showing no signs of leaving today, was listening to Berlioz’s symphony with his eyes slightly closed.
He liked the tears of the woman that came to mind when he heard this music. He didn’t know because he hadn’t seen her smile properly, but her crying face was breathtakingly beautiful.
After that, the sensation of that day rushed back, along with the memory of the woman lying on the long couch, looking up at me with big eyes.
Once again.
This feeling may not have a name,
But just once more, without any clear answer, I want to see you.
I must see you.
Slowly lifting his eyelids, Cassard rang the call bell to summon housekeeper Tuan.
“Yes, Your Grace.”
“Leave first. I will stop by Lindkoem.”
“Lindcom… shall we speak? If you still have business in the territory, should I accompany you?”
Cassard stood up with a stiff smile.
“It’s a personal matter.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Along with the chauffeur, Peron, who came to meet Duke Blahnath at Lindcom’s train station, repeatedly fiddled with his gloved hand.
As the train puffing faint smoke entered the platform, the door of the firstclass cabin opened first.
“I hope you had a pleasant journey. Farewell.”
Two crew members followed behind the Duke, bowing at a right angle. The Duke lightly responded with a nod, then approached Peron and the chauffeur with an elegant stride.
“Did you bring it?”
“Yes, my lord.”
Peron politely replied, lifting a rattan basket placed on the back seat of the car.
“Then let’s go right away.”
“To where… shall I take you?”
The chauffeur asked stupidly, to which Peron jabbed him in the ribs.
“I will take you to the hospital, my lord.”
The chauffeur’s eyes widened.
Which hospital…? Where are you hurting…?
Peron shot a glance at the chauffeur.
You see! It’s the hospital where that nurse used to work! He has his own personal doctor, so why would the lord go to the hospital, you fool!
Whether the chauffeur noticed the exchange of glances or not, the Duke’s gaze shifted to Peron. A tense Peron felt a bead of sweat trickle down his temples.
“Perhaps, not the hospital…? Shall we go to the monastery…?”
