章 185: The Duke and His Sweets

"The people working with the prince are hiding in plain sight. I have sent my people to try and spy on them but all of them vanished without any traces." Again, the Count started coughing. "I'm afraid they have planted a few spies around me. This was the reason why they wanted to get rid of me."

The Duke only nodded in response.

"It would be wise if Your Grace sent a few more people by the Prince's side," the Count added.

"Very well, thank you for letting me know. As promised, Leonardo will be safe and guarded, and you can recuperate without worrying. A few days from now, I want you to have a celebratory banquet for your recovery."

The Count nodded.

"Your Grace, if you do not mind, may I know who helped me? That Lady—"

"Is my wife," the Duke smiled. "And you will meet her once you are ready. For now, you take care of yourself, young Count."

"Yes, Your Grace. Thank you for your benevolence."
