Chapter 181: Traitor

 "Grrrr!" Jeeran sprang towards the sky, leaving Carran town with Kadyn and his companions. 

 "So they intercepted the emperor?" said Cecelia.

 "How did they know what route the emperor would take?" asked Elora.

 "Well, there are two possibilities," Kadyn began. One, they have an informer in the Capital. Second, someone has turned into a traitor."

 "I think you should omit the first option," Cecelia said as her hair flew in the air.

 "Why is that?" Kadyn asked. Others also turned towards her.

 "I don't think the emperor is foolish enough to tell his expedition route to ordinary soldiers. Only the strongest—and trustworthy—people in the empire could know something like this."

 "Who do you think is it?" Zelie asked.

 "I don't know," Cecelia shook her head. "However, I have my suspicions."

 "You also think it is… either Oswyn or Eugan?" Kadyn probed.

 Cecelia smiled but didn't comment.
