Chapter 147: Nils Breaks Out!

"Therefore, I conclude that house Kracht is the real mastermind behind the assassination. Knowing that Elmar would eventually strike, they chose to deal the first blow.

Which then raises the question. Was Wolfgang so desperate that for the sake of striking back at the imperial family, he would sacrifice his house's number one talent?

I don't think so."

Again, Adelar grasped the core issue. With the shocking talent he displayed, "Anselm" represented house Kracht's future and once paired with the baptized Iliana, they could bring the Kracht to an era of splendor. No sane man would be willing to give up such a gem for that level of benefit.

"Meaning…"

"Meaning the dead boy is fake. The real Anselm still breathes, hidden somewhere, most likely being trained in the shadows to keep his life safe while bidding his time for his ascension and return."

Adelar concluded, causing Nils' eyes to brighten with a mixture of hope and expectations.
