Wherever it passed, it was met with people, shocked, horrified, and at a loss at what to do.
Especially the nobles gathered at the entrance of White Dew Fortress, in their shock, they all began to worry about their own safety.
First, Count Angler was assassinated, then Marquis Vincent was killed, and now even the Duchess has not been spared...
In their eyes, White Dew Fortress had become an extremely dangerous place, and the idea of escaping could no longer be suppressed.
"Please open the gate and let us leave!"
"Exactly, if the St. Prowse family can't ensure the stability and safety of White Dew Fortress, what right do they have to keep us here against our will!"
"I intend to leave today, who dares to stop me!"
...
Faced with the surging mob of nobles, some of whom had even started to violently storm the gate, the guards were at a loss.
