Chapitre 107: Untold secret- Part 3

"Malphus already knew his fate when he entered Mythweald. The day you had entered the library was the day Malphus contacted me again," Katie remembered how Malphus had abruptly left her in the church after she had mentioned him about Silas.

"He asked me to kill him," the man revealed and Katie felt her heart drop.

"What? But..why?" why would anyone ask for death.

"He was already loosing strength and composure. Ester being a witch has put spells in and around the empire to make sure no one crosses it unseen. Even if he wasn't killed, his body would only turn to nothing but dust in a time of a week."

"Ralph had nothing to do with anything," Katie glared at the man next to her, "Did he decide to be a sacrifice too?"

"I won't lie when I say that I did use Ralph to get the Lord of Valeria murdered but I had no hand or mind with his death. I am sorry for your loss," he conveyed his regards but she didn't say anything after that.
