The night was pitch-dark.The sound

The night was pitch-dark.

The sound of the carriage could be heard on the quiet road leading to the palace. Linley was sitting alone in the carriage, with Bebe on his legs. Next to the carriage, there were over ten knights on fine stallions, and leading them was the palace servant who had come.

Within the carriage.

Linley was frowning as he considered. “It’s quite late already. But King Clayde suddenly summoned me to his palace. What is this about?” As the saying goes, only those who were blameless would always be relaxed.

Linley had just killed Patterson, and now he was very much aware that in the past, it was Clayde who had instructed Patterson to send people to abduct his mother. In other words, there was a deep enmity between him and Clayde.

Naturally, Linley was very careful around Clayde.

“I heard two days ago, Clayde seized the housekeeper of the Duke’s manor, and has begun a wide scale investigation of Patterson’s affairs. Patterson said that he hadn’t told anyone about his meeting with me. But can I trust those words?” Linley felt uncertain.

Perhaps that housekeeper already knew about Patterson and Linley’s meeting.

If that Duke’s housekeeper informed King Clayde of the meeting, then naturally, Linley would be at the precipice of danger.

“Linley, don’t worry.”

Doehring Cowart’s voice rang out in Linley’s mind, reassuring him. “Linley, even if that Duke Patterson told his housekeeper that he was meeting with you, you would still be fine.”

“Fine?” Linley looked questioningly at Doehring Cowart.

Doehring Cowart nodded confidently. “Naturally. Even if Clayde guessed that you killed Patterson, he still won’t openly address it.”

“Because…Clayde doesn’t know the reason why you killed Patterson.” Doehring Cowart’s face was filled with confidence.

Linley was startled. Even if Clayde didn’t know why he killed Patterson…he still would know Linley was the killer, right?

“It’s simple. Judging from the conversation you had with Patterson in that underground room, his relationship with Clayde wasn’t very good. While he was the Minister of Finance, Patterson engaged in widespread corruption. In his heart, Clayde probably didn’t feel much affection for Patterson. What’s more…Clayde doesn’t know that there is enmity between the two of you. Thus, he won’t act against you without cause. Because if he wishes to punish you, or to kill you, he would have to first get permission from the Radiant Church.” His eyes gleaming, Doehring Cowart looked at Linley.

“Hrmph, can that Clayde really be considered a king? The Radiant Church has the authority to depose him from his rule. But you are someone whom the Radiant Church values highly. Would he dare to casually act against you?” Doehring Cowart consoled Linley.

Linley nodded.

He understood this logic.

However…

Linley truly did not wish for Clayde to be on his guard against him. If Clayde became wary of Linley, how would Linley investigate his mother’s whereabouts or take revenge on behalf of his mother?

“Open the door! It’s me!” The palace attendant shouted in a shrill voice.

Hearing this, Linley immediately knew that they had already reached the palace gates. Like a giant beast, the gates squatted there, hulking. In just a half hour’s time, countless carriages had entered and left the palace.

One of those carriages was Linley’s. Another belonged to Bernard. And still others were carrying other nobles.

Within the business discussion hall of the palace.

Aside from the two guards standing at the door to the hall, everyone else present in the hall were nobles of high rank. In total, there were eight people present. These were Bernard, leader of the Debs clan. The Prime Court Magus, Linley. The Left Premier, Duke Bonalt. The Inspector General, Hampton [Han’pu’dun]…

“Linley, you came.” Bernard greeted him warmly.

All of the nobles already present instantly greeted him as well. Seeing all of these nobles, Linley couldn’t help but suddenly feel calm. It seemed that he had not been specially summoned after all.

“Milords, I wonder if any of you know why his Majesty has summoned us?” Linley immediately asked.

Duke Bonalt, as the Left Premier, knew a great deal of information.

“Most likely, this summons is related to the disappearance of Duke Patterson.” Duke Bonalt replied with a warm laugh.

Bernard, off to the side, immediately asked, “Lord Duke, what does Duke Patterson’s disappearance have to do with me? I don’t have any important responsibilities at court.”

“Today, his Majesty isn’t summoning his entire court, merely investigating a matter. Otherwise, why would I be here, but not the Right Premier, and only a single Inspector General?” Duke Bonalt saw things quite clearly.

Bernard nodded.

But Bernard still felt very uneasy.

Ever since Patterson had disappeared, Bernard had been filled with unease. He feared that the involvement between his Debs clan and Duke Patterson in the water jade smuggling operation would be brought to light. If this affair was revealed, then the Debs clan would really be finished.

“His Majesty has arrived!”

Suddenly, the shrill voice of the palace attendant sounded out. From a side door to the hall, Clayde walked in, heading directly for a seat in front and sitting down, two palace attendants respectfully at his side.

“All hail his Majesty!”

All of the nobles present bowed and chanted.

Clayde glanced at the nobles. He calmly nodded, then said, “It’s quite late at night already. I originally didn’t wish to disturb all of you, but this issue regarding the disappearance of my second brother, Patterson, is too important. I was forced to summon all of you to come here.”

“Might I ask, your Majesty, what Duke Patterson’s disappearance has to do with your summons for us?” Linley immediately asked.

Of the eight people present before Clayde, perhaps only Linley would dare to speak to him in such a manner. Because while everyone else present was subordinate to Clayde, in reality, Linley was the subordinate of the Radiant Church, and was only a servant of the Kingdom of Fenlai in name.

“Linley, I just wish to clearly investigate this affair.” Clayde smiled, and then said in a loud voice, “Bring out the Duke’s housekeeper, Lodi.”

Lodi? The Duke’s housekeeper?

Both Linley and the Deb clan’s leader Bernard felt their hearts start to pound.

The entire meeting hall was silent. Everyone quietly awaited Lodi being brought forward to testify. Linley still stood there, with the Shadowmouse Bebe on his shoulders.

After a short while…

Under escort by palace guards, a middle-aged man with jade-like hair walked in. This man looked very fragile, with mussed hair and a bewildered look on his face.

Bernard recognized this man at a single glance. This man in front of him was indeed Lodi, the housekeeper for Duke Patterson.

“Lodi, explain everything in detail.” Clayde shouted towards Lodi.

Lodi clearly had already explained once to Clayde already. This explanation clearly was for the benefit of Linley and the others. Lodi said very honestly, “Your Majesty, on June 18th, when the Debs clan held that engagement ceremony, the Lord Duke also went to attend. But after the ceremony, the Lord Duke never came back.”

“Lodi, stand to one side.” Clayde said coldly.

“Yes, your Majesty.” Lodi clearly was terrified. He hurriedly scurried off into a corner.

Clayde swept the eight nobles with his gaze.

“Based on the information from my investigations, the night of the engagement ceremony at the Debs clan, you all were amongst the last to leave. What I want to ask is, did any of you encounter Duke Patterson?” Clayde’s question was very simple.

“Right after the banquet, Patterson departed.” The Left Premier, Lord Bonalt, said in a loud voice.

Linley nodded as well. “I, too, saw Patterson departing quite early.”

The others either said they didn’t see him, or that Patterson left very early.

Hearing everyone speak, Clayde smiled and nodded, and then turned to Lodi again. “Lodi, continue.”

“Yes.” Lodi continued. “That night, before going to the Debs manor, Duke Patterson told me that he was going to be meeting with an extremely important person, but to the importance of the discussion topic, nobody could know about it. Thus, he ordered me to arrange for a double to impersonate him and leave the manor. In truth, the Lord Duke would remain within the manor.”

“The Lord Duke also said that the Debs clan would arrange for a safe, secret place for his meeting.” Lodi added.

Upon hearing these words, Bernard Debs’ face immediately turned white.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”

Bernard hurriedly said, “This has nothing to do with me. The Lord Duke told me he wanted to meet with someone, so I arranged a meeting room for them. I couldn’t refuse him.”

“Bernard. Don’t be hasty. I won’t wrongly blame someone.” Clayde smiled.

“Thank you, your Majesty.” Bernard quickly stepped back, but his face was still pale.

Clayde turned to look at Linley and the others. “If Patterson was going to meet with someone, the person he was going to meet with should have some status. Who would that person be? I think…it must have been one of the last guests to leave.”

Linley’s heart trembled.

Duke Bonalt, Count Juneau, Marquis Hampton, and the others all stared at Clayde in astonishment. By now, they could guess why the king had called them here.

His Majesty was suspicious of them!

“Your Majesty, I definitely did not meet with him.” Count Juneau, Marquis Hampton, and the others hurriedly said.

Clayde smiled. “I only have my suspicions. If none of you did anything to be guilty of, why be so nervous? Look, Linley’s the calmest one here.”

Linley smiled but didn’t make a sound.

Clayde glanced at this group of people, laughing coldly in his heart. “I couldn’t give a damn about who made Patterson disappear. In fact, I’d rather thank that person for givi

Malam itu pitch-dark.Suara kereta bisa didengar di jalan yang tenang yang mengarah ke istana. Linley duduk sendirian di kereta, dengan Bebe pada kakinya.

Malam itu gelap gulita. Suara kereta bisa didengar di jalan tenang yang mengarah ke istana. Linley duduk sendirian di kereta, dengan Bebe pada kakinya. Sebelah kereta, ada lebih dari sepuluh ksatria pada kuda baik, dan memimpin mereka adalah hamba istana yang datang. Dalam kereta. Linley mengerutkan kening saat ia dipertimbangkan. "Ini cukup terlambat sudah. Tapi Raja Clayde tiba-tiba memanggil saya ke istananya. Apa ini? "Seperti kata pepatah, hanya mereka yang bersalah akan selalu santai. Linley baru saja membunuh Patterson, dan sekarang ia sangat menyadari bahwa di masa lalu, itu Clayde yang telah diperintahkan Patterson untuk mengirim orang ke menculik ibunya. Dengan kata lain, ada permusuhan yang mendalam antara dia dan Clayde. Tentu, Linley sangat berhati-hati di sekitar Clayde. "Saya mendengar dua hari yang lalu, Clayde merebut pengurus rumah manor Duke, dan telah memulai penyelidikan skala luas urusan Patterson. Patterson mengatakan bahwa dia belum memberitahu siapa pun tentang pertemuannya dengan saya. Tapi bisa saya percaya kata-kata? "Linley merasa tidak pasti. Mungkin rumah tangga yang sudah tahu tentang pertemuan Patterson dan Linley ini. Jika rumah tangga yang Duke memberitahu Raja Clayde pertemuan, maka secara alami, Linley akan di tebing bahaya." Linley, don 't khawatir. "Suara Doehring Cowart berdering dalam pikiran Linley ini, meyakinkan dia. "Linley, bahkan jika itu Duke Patterson mengatakan pembantu rumah tangga bahwa ia bertemu dengan Anda, Anda akan tetap baik-baik saja." "Baik?" Tanya Linley tampak di Doehring Cowart. Doehring Cowart mengangguk yakin. "Tentu saja. Bahkan jika Clayde menduga bahwa Anda membunuh Patterson, dia masih akan tidak secara terbuka mengatasinya. "" Karena ... Clayde tidak tahu alasan mengapa kau membunuh Patterson. "Wajah Doehring Cowart itu penuh dengan keyakinan. Linley terkejut. Bahkan jika Clayde tidak tahu mengapa dia membunuh Patterson ... ia masih akan tahu Linley adalah pembunuh, kan? "Ini sederhana. Dilihat dari percakapan Anda telah dengan Patterson di ruangan bawah tanah, hubungannya dengan Clayde tidak sangat baik. Sementara ia adalah Menteri Keuangan, Patterson terlibat dalam korupsi. Dalam hatinya, Clayde mungkin tidak merasa banyak kasih sayang untuk Patterson. Apa lagi ... Clayde tidak tahu bahwa ada permusuhan antara Anda berdua. Dengan demikian, ia tidak akan bertindak terhadap Anda tanpa sebab. Karena jika ia ingin menghukum Anda, atau membunuhmu, ia harus terlebih dahulu mendapatkan izin dari Gereja Radiant. "Matanya berkilat, Doehring Cowart melihat Linley." Hrmph, dapat Clayde yang benar-benar dianggap raja? The Radiant Gereja memiliki kewenangan untuk menggulingkan dia dari pemerintahannya. Tapi Anda adalah seseorang yang nilai-nilai Gereja Radiant sangat. Apakah ia berani santai bertindak terhadap Anda? "Doehring Cowart menghibur Linley. Linley mengangguk. Dia memahami logika ini. Namun ... Linley benar-benar tidak ingin untuk Clayde menjadi waspada terhadap dia. Jika Clayde menjadi waspada Linley, bagaimana Linley akan menyelidiki keberadaan ibunya atau membalas dendam atas nama ibunya? "Buka pintu! Ini aku! "Petugas istana berteriak dengan suara melengking. Mendengar ini, Linley segera tahu bahwa mereka telah mencapai gerbang istana. Seperti binatang raksasa, gerbang berjongkok di sana, raksasa. Hanya dalam setengah jam waktu, tak terhitung kereta telah memasuki dan meninggalkan istana. Salah satu gerbong itu Linley ini. Lain milik Bernard. Dan yang lain membawa bangsawan lainnya. Dalam ruang diskusi bisnis dari istana. Selain dari dua penjaga berdiri di pintu ke aula, semua orang yang hadir di aula yang bangsawan berpangkat tinggi. Secara total, ada delapan orang yang hadir. Ini adalah Bernard, pemimpin klan Debs. Perdana Pengadilan Magus, Linley. Kiri Premier, Duke Bonalt. Inspektur Jenderal, Hampton [Han'pu'dun] ... "Linley, kau datang." Bernard disambut dengan hangat. Semua bangsawan sudah hadir langsung menyambutnya juga. Melihat semua bangsawan ini, Linley tidak bisa membantu tapi tiba-tiba merasa tenang. Tampaknya ia tidak secara khusus dipanggil setelah semua. "Milords, saya ingin tahu apakah ada di antara kalian tahu mengapa Mulia telah memanggil kita?" Linley segera bertanya. Duke Bonalt, sebagai Kiri Premier, tahu banyak informasi. " Kemungkinan besar, panggilan ini berkaitan dengan hilangnya Duke Patterson. "jawab Duke Bonalt dengan tertawa hangat. Bernard, ke samping, langsung bertanya," Tuhan Duke, apa memang memiliki hilangnya Duke Patterson hubungannya dengan saya? Saya tidak memiliki tanggung jawab penting di istana. "" Hari ini, Yang Mulia tidak memanggil seluruh istananya, hanya menyelidiki perkara. Jika tidak, mengapa saya akan berada di sini, tapi tidak Premier kanan, dan hanya Inspektur Jenderal tunggal? "Duke Bonalt melihat hal cukup jelas. Bernard mengangguk. Tapi Bernard masih merasa sangat gelisah. Sejak Patterson telah menghilang, Bernard telah diisi dengan kegelisahan. Ia takut bahwa keterlibatan antara klan Debs dan Duke Patterson dalam operasi penyelundupan batu giok air akan dibawa ke cahaya. Jika masalah ini terungkap, maka klan Debs benar-benar selesai. "Yang Mulia telah tiba!" Tiba-tiba, suara melengking dari petugas istana terdengar keluar. Dari pintu samping ke aula, Clayde berjalan di, menuju langsung untuk kursi di depan dan duduk, dua petugas istana hormat di sisinya. "Semua berasal Mulia!" Semua bangsawan hadir membungkuk dan meneriakkan. Clayde melirik para bangsawan. Dia dengan tenang mengangguk, lalu berkata, "Ini cukup larut malam sudah. Saya awalnya tidak ingin mengganggu kalian semua, tapi masalah ini mengenai hilangnya kakak kedua saya, Patterson, terlalu penting. Saya dipaksa untuk memanggil kalian semua untuk datang ke sini. "" Mungkin aku bertanya, Yang Mulia, apa hilangnya Duke Patterson memiliki hubungannya dengan panggilan Anda untuk kami? "Linley langsung meminta. Dari delapan orang yang hadir sebelum Clayde, mungkin hanya Linley akan berani berbicara kepadanya dengan cara seperti itu. Karena sementara orang lain yang hadir adalah bawahan Clayde, pada kenyataannya, Linley adalah bawahan dari Gereja Radiant, dan hanya hamba Kerajaan Fenlai nama. "Linley, saya hanya ingin jelas menyelidiki masalah ini." Clayde tersenyum , dan kemudian berkata dengan suara keras, "Bawalah pengurus rumah tangga Duke, Lodi." Lodi? Pengurus rumah tangga Duke? Kedua Linley dan pemimpin Deb klan Bernard merasa hati mereka mulai pon. Ruang pertemuan seluruh diam. Semua orang diam-diam ditunggu Lodi dibawa ke depan untuk bersaksi. Linley masih berdiri di sana, dengan Shadowmouse Bebe di pundaknya. Setelah beberapa saat ... Di bawah pengawalan oleh penjaga istana, seorang pria setengah baya dengan rambut giok-seperti berjalan di. Pria ini tampak sangat rapuh, dengan rambut acak-acakan dan terlihat bingung di wajahnya. Bernard diakui orang ini sekilas tunggal. Pria ini di depannya memang Lodi, pengurus rumah tangga untuk Duke Patterson. "Lodi, menjelaskan semuanya secara detail." Clayde berteriak ke arah Lodi. Lodi jelas sudah menjelaskan sekali untuk Clayde sudah. Penjelasan ini jelas adalah untuk kepentingan Linley dan lain-lain. Lodi mengatakan sangat jujur, "Yang Mulia, pada tanggal 18 Juni, ketika klan Debs diadakan upacara pertunangan, Tuhan Duke juga pergi untuk menghadiri. Tapi setelah upacara, Tuhan Duke tidak pernah kembali. "" Lodi, berdiri di satu sisi. "Clayde kata dingin." Ya, Yang Mulia. "Lodi jelas sangat ketakutan. Dia buru-buru bergegas pergi ke sudut. Clayde menyapu delapan bangsawan dengan tatapannya. "Berdasarkan informasi dari penyelidikan saya, malam upacara pertunangan di klan Debs, semua berada di antara orang terakhir yang meninggalkan. Yang ingin saya tanyakan adalah, apakah ada di antara kalian temui Duke Patterson? "Pertanyaan Clayde itu sangat sederhana." Tepat setelah perjamuan, Patterson berangkat. "The Left Premier, Tuhan Bonalt, mengatakan dengan suara keras. Linley mengangguk juga. "Aku juga, melihat Patterson berangkat cukup awal." Yang lain juga mengatakan mereka tidak melihatnya, atau bahwa Patterson meninggalkan sangat awal. Mendengar semua orang berbicara, Clayde tersenyum dan mengangguk, dan kemudian beralih ke Lodi lagi. "Lodi, terus." "Ya." Lanjut Lodi. "Malam itu, sebelum pergi ke manor Debs, Duke Patterson mengatakan kepada saya bahwa ia akan bertemu dengan orang yang sangat penting, tetapi pentingnya topik diskusi, tidak ada yang bisa tahu tentang hal itu. Dengan demikian, ia memerintahkan saya untuk mengatur untuk ganda untuk meniru dia dan meninggalkan manor. Sebenarnya, Tuhan Duke akan tetap dalam manor. "" Tuhan Duke juga mengatakan bahwa klan Debs akan mengatur aman, tempat rahasia untuk pertemuannya. "Lodi tambahnya. Setelah mendengar kata-kata ini, wajah Bernard Debs 'segera berbalik putih. "Yang Mulia! Mulia! "Bernard buru-buru berkata," Ini tidak ada hubungannya dengan saya. Tuhan Duke bilang dia ingin bertemu dengan seseorang, jadi saya mengatur ruang pertemuan untuk mereka. Aku tidak bisa menolak dia. "" Bernard. Jangan tergesa-gesa. Aku tidak akan salah menyalahkan seseorang. "Clayde tersenyum." Terima kasih, Yang Mulia. "Bernard cepat melangkah mundur, tapi wajahnya masih pucat. Clayde berpaling untuk melihat Linley dan lain-lain. "Jika Patterson akan bertemu dengan seseorang, orang tersebut ia akan bertemu dengan harus memiliki beberapa status. Siapa yang akan orang itu? Saya pikir ... pasti salah satu tamu terakhir yang meninggalkan. "Hati Linley gemetar. Duke Bonalt, Hitung Juneau, Marquis Hampton, dan lain-lain semua menatap Clayde heran. Sekarang, mereka bisa menebak mengapa raja telah memanggil mereka di sini. Mulia curiga dari mereka! "Yang Mulia, saya pasti tidak bertemu dengan dia." Hitung Juneau, Marquis Hampton, dan lain-lain buru-buru mengatakan. Clayde tersenyum. "Saya hanya memiliki kecurigaan saya. Jika tidak ada apa-apa kau menjadi bersalah, mengapa begitu gugup? Lihatlah, Linley yang paling tenang satu di sini. "Linley tersenyum tapi tidak membuat suara. Clayde melirik kelompok orang, tertawa dingin dalam hatinya. "Saya tidak bisa peduli tentang yang membuat Patterson menghilang. Bahkan, saya lebih suka berterima kasih kepada orang itu untuk givi
