Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 434

La Til soon dismissed her suspicion and shook her head.

‘No, it couldn’t be.’

She couldn’t tell whether Tasir suspected Sarnet or not, but it didn’t seem likely that Sarnet had anything to do with the assassination of her father.

‘After all, Sarnet was the Captain of Father’s Royal Guard.’

If the late Emperor had been assassinated, even the slightest hint of suspicion would have made it impossible for him to avoid blame.

Even without any suspicion, he could still be punished on the grounds that “the Captain of the Royal Guard failed to protect his sovereign.”

Though Sarnet hadn’t been by the Emperor’s side because he was far away with La Til, he was still in a position where he could be punished merely for giving anyone an excuse to blame him.

It was absurd, but as the responsible party, that’s simply how it was.

The only reason Sarnet remained unharmed was because La Til had no intention of forcing false blame onto him.

Yet even so, La Til’s opinion remained unchanged. She still believed Sarnet hadn’t assassinated her father.

‘Everyone could guess that my position would be most severely shaken if Abamama were assassinated.’

Would the clever Sarnet really take such a reckless gamble? Especially when no one knew who’d emerge victorious after the young Emperor’s assassination?
