Chapter 291: City On High Alert

"Asher, are you alright?" Countess Lita grabbed her son's face and checked him.

"I'm alright, mother." Lucius reassured her.

"No, how could you be okay? Someone just attacked you in your room." Countess Lita was closed to tears as she hugged him. "I'm just glad that you're unharmed. But are you actually hurt anywhere?"

"Put out the fire now." Kiana instructed some of the servants and guards with them to take care of the fire burning within Asher's room at once.

"And what do we do this with this one, ma'am?" one of the guards glanced at the assassin on the floor.

"Leave that one be, I'll take care of it myself," Lucius said. "Or ensure that he remains unconscious, though I expect that he'll stay that way for quite some time."

If Lucius wanted to, he could have simply left the assassin's body in the fire and nobody in the Inanis household would have taken a second look and simply allowed it to burn.
