The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 142
Aracila’s purpose in branding Travis as the royal assassin was precisely this: to force Travis himself to drag his master, Fernando, out into the open.
In truth, when Damian had told her that Travis was the real culprit, the first person she thought of was Fernando, who had attacked her as if waiting for the opportunity during the Mage Tower’s council meeting.
Considering that there were already mages firmly aligned with him, and that he had immediately resorted to the extreme measure of expelling her from the Mage Tower,
it was clear Fernando had been involved in this affair from the very beginning.
This wasn’t surprising. Given their master-disciple relationship, it wouldn’t have been strange at all if they had conspired together.
Therefore, when bringing down Travis, she also had to make sure Fernando was thoroughly pulled down with him—otherwise, Fernando’s faction would surely continue to haunt her.
Fernando could easily use a new disciple to restrain Aracila again or, after some time passed, even recall Travis back into the Mage Tower.
Thus, she had to eradicate them completely, leaving no trace behind.
“What nonsense are you spouting, Travis! What conspiracy do you think I’ve been part of with you!”
Fernando shouted out in panic, his face flushed with alarm.
Sweat instantly soaked the back of his neck, a reaction driven by the sudden fear that he too might be implicated in the royal assassination attempt.
‘Instead of defending that useless Travis for no reason, it’s better to abandon him right here!’
Of course, he knew very well that Aracila was Travis’s true target, but with the imperial princess now seriously injured, defending Travis by revealing the truth would be utterly impractical.
With their family’s circumstances already exposed, their claims would only be dismissed as mere excuses—and they’d likely be branded accomplices instead.
“Lord Fernando, is this really how you’re going to act? You know very well this was my scheme targeting Aracila!”
