Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

Camia looked angry and relieved. “You didn’t hear wrong. It’s Celt!”

“Celt?”

“How could it be him!”

“Hmph, are you kidding me!”

King Simon was completely furious.

Who didn’t know who Celt was? Even if he had ten guts, he wouldn’t dare to kill Berg. Moreover, he had no motive to kill Berg.

These nobles completely relied on the royal family to enjoy a rich and noble life. How could they do such a stupid thing that would destroy their future?

“It really was Celt.

“If you don’t believe me, you can wait for the grand tutor to come and use the runes to reconstruct what happened. You’ll understand… If I didn’t see Celt with my own eyes, I would never have thought that this obedient dog of his would actually kill his master!”

Camia’s expression was filled with satisfaction.

“Before the grand tutor comes, tell me what happened.”

The Queen, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke. “If what you say is different from what the grand tutor reconstructed, I will personally kill you!”

“If you want to hear it, fine!”

She was waiting for this sentence.

Camia thought of what the man had told her and repeated it in detail. “After the wedding banquet, my maid brought me a pot of sobering soup, but I never expected that my maid would actually drug my sobering soup.”

“It was the incurable Nine-tailed Fox’s aphrodisiac poison!”

As she said this, her voice was filled with anger and fear. “That was the maid who grew up with me. I don’t know who bewitched her, but she actually poisoned me. I don’t think you need me to explain what happened next!”

“He’s your husband!” The Queen’s tone became heavier. “Get to the point!”

“Then, Celt suddenly appeared in the room, imprisoned me, and said something to Berg. I didn’t hear a single word. It was as if their voices were cut off. As they spoke, their emotions became more and more agitated. In the end, Celt suddenly ambushed Berg, killed him, and burned him to ashes.

“After that, he ran away. From the beginning to the end, he didn’t say a single word to me.”

Hearing Camia’s description, the king and queen frowned.

They knew that this person was definitely not Celt. The real Celt was one of Berg’s dogs. Moreover, he was addicted to lust. There was no reason for him to kill Berg, and it was impossible for him to not be attracted to a beauty like Camia.

“Someone!”

The king shouted, “Call the guards from last night.”

The guards from the Prince’s residence were trembling with fear. “Reporting to the king, all the guards from last night have disappeared. We suspect that they were killed by the murderer.”

“Hmph.”

The king’s expression was extremely gloomy. “If what you said is true, then this person is definitely not an ordinary person. He is powerful. Not only can he turn invisible, but he can also change his appearance and control flames. He even has abilities that we have never thought of.

“Such a person definitely can not be a good-for-nothing like Celt.

“No matter who it is, even if the entire Simon Empire is turned upside down, this person must be executed! Men, inform the marquises to come over and look for Celt. We have already sent people to search the hotels in the imperial capital. Who went out last night?

“At the same time, search for all the outsiders and their movements within the past half a month!”

“Yes!”

The soldiers began to move, and the whole of the imperial city was filled with killing intent.

When the sun rose, the imperial city became lively. However, the commoners discovered that the atmosphere today was a little strange. Rows of soldiers were patrolling the streets, searching house by house.

The other government departments also had a large flow of personnel.

Especially the high-ranking officials. They all rushed to the Prince’s residence with surprised expressions.

“What happened?”

“I don’t know. I just woke up and it’s already like this.”

“Sigh, something big is going to happen again.”

“Lower your voice!”

The commoners all had terrified expressions.

Some elderly people squatted in a corner and recalled the past. The Simon Empire wasn’t like it was now. Although the days weren’t considered wealthy, at least they could be considered happy. The royal family’s attitude towards the commoners was also very friendly, but now, the days were getting more and more miserable. They did not even have enough food to eat. Many people died every day.

Was this still the imperial city?

As for the other cities of the Simon Empire, they were even worse than the imperial city. The commoners lived a more miserable life.

…

In the Prince’s residence.

At this time, more and more people came in. Everyone had a solemn expression.

Wilson’s entire body was shrouded in a thick murderous aura. He walked into the Prince’s residence with a livid expression.

The Prince’s residence, which was filled with guests last night, was filled with a somber killing intent today. When Wilson had heard the news of Berg’s death, he had rushed over as fast as he could.

He thought that someone had killed Camia. No matter what, he had to hold onto Camia.

At the very most, he would fight it out.

If the Simon Empire did not want to cause great chaos, then the king would have to compromise.

Once the Wilson family rebelled against the royal family even the king would have to consider it carefully.

“Brother, you’re here?”

Camia looked at Wilson, tears streaming down her face. Her expression was filled with grievance, anger, and humiliation. “I really didn’t kill Berg, but he deserved to die!”

“Sister, Don’t cry. What exactly happened?”

The moment Wilson entered, he went straight for Camia.

He completely ignored the king and Queen.

His body was filled with a terrifying killing intent. Anyone could see it.

However, no one said anything. This included the king and queen.

Everyone knew that once the Wilson family was driven mad, the Simon Empire would definitely be in turmoil.
