Capítulo 155: The (Fake) Hero

Prince Maximilian sat tensely, facing Duke William. The man was hailed as a hero for thwarting the Akiyan rebels who were accused of collaborating with Lord Ethan to overthrow King Leonardo's rule.

"Perhaps, I should congratulate you for successfully quelling the rebellion and saving Akiya," Prince Maximilian began the conversation, forcing a smile. The corners of his lips trembled as he widened the grin.

"I did only what was best for my kingdom and the citizen."

Following the disappearance of Madam Joanna, Duke William swiftly initiated an investigation and arrested several suspects. Lord Theo, the second son of Marquess Hernandez, was identified as the leader of the insurrection. He was eventually apprehended alongside some unregistered wizards within the magic tower, as reported by Madam Joanna.
