Bab 66: On the camp

As she stood there, frozen in place, the colonel's sharp eyes turned to the other officers. "We need to investigate this matter further. Secure the area and gather anyone who might have seen him. I want this camp searched from top to bottom. If Lucavion is still here, we'll find him."

The officers nodded in unison, their expressions grim as they dispersed to carry out the orders. Jesse watched them leave, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was horribly wrong. Lucavion wouldn't just kill someone and flee—at least, not the Lucavion she knew.

Moments later, more soldiers entered the tent, their faces set in determined lines as they began to search through Lucavion's belongings. Jesse stood to the side, watching in silence as they rifled through his things, hoping against hope that they would find some clue that proved his innocence.
