Chapter 158: Chapter 32: Secrets Revealed

The air in Lorrence had become thick with tension after the assassination attempt. The weight of unspoken secrets hung in the air as James and his companions regrouped. They now knew that they were treading dangerous waters, Lady Seraphina's murder was only the tip of a very dark iceberg. What they had yet to uncover was the web of conspiracy that tied the kingdom's nobles, and potentially the Queen herself, to the sinister activities happening beneath the surface.

After leaving the Lagrange estate and dispatching the assassins, James, Lynara, Cherry, Pippy, and their new companion, Lila, headed toward the heart of Lorrence, the Queen's citadel. Lila, having heard much through her rogue network, was convinced that answers lay within the Queen's inner circle.
