章 303: Wedding Canceled

Peklon frowned. The attendant was telling the truth. That information was for the inn manager only.

"Where's your manager?"

"I'm here, my lord. I'm the manager." A short, chubby man stepped out of the crowd.

"You're the manager? You've been here all the time. Why didn't you come out earlier?" Peklon asked.

The manager didn't know what to say. It was true. He had been there the whole time but only came out when he was mentioned.

"I… I didn't know what was happening. I assumed with Shif caught, everything would be alright…" he tried to explain himself.

It was too significant a matter not to take seriously. If he didn't offer any explanation, it would seem that he had been watching in the crowd without trying to do anything.

"Since you've been here all along, I'm sure you heard my questions. Do I need to repeat them?"

"Of course not, my lord. I heard everything." The manager sighed. It seemed he couldn't avoid it after all.
