Kapitel 107: Lamb vs. Tiger

Meanwhile, within the imperial palace, Elmar was dutifully reviewing petitions, when an ominous feeling squeezed his heart, making his chest palpitate with worries.

"What kind of premonition is this?"

He wasn't given time to think more before Holger barged in unannounced with a trembling body and eyes full of fright.

He stumbled toward Elmar, falling on his knees.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Elmar barked upon seeing his disheveled little brother. Droplets of sweat trickled on Holger's forehead as he struggled to muster his strength and regain his composure.

"El-elder brother…bad…"

"Speak!"

"My guard captain…I received news that my guard captain left for house Kracht…on my order."

"What?"

That simple sentence was enough for Elmar to understand they were getting thrown into a foul ploy.

"Elder brother, please save me!"

Elmar staggered, but quickly, regained his composure.
