Bab 305: 304 Clue_1

"Who authorized you to do this?"

The usually mild-mannered Buso was now red-faced with anger, raising his voice to question.

As the butler to Prince Lexie, Buso was quite a substantial figure in Dragon City. Even the nobles of the Imperial Capital would greet him with smiles. But now, he was being treated with cold indifference by a military officer of the city defense force, a man who didn't even hold the rank of a knight.

"Mr. Buso, I am sorry for putting you in this predicament." The young officer said flatly, without any visible sign of remorse on his face. "But this is an order from His Majesty."

With that, he unfolded a scroll and placed it in front of Buso.

Buso's face turned ashen as he read the imperial decree. It was as the rude officer had said, Prince Lexie was stripped off his nobility for the alleged murder of Lattom, the governor, and all his immediate family members have been expelled from Dragon City.
