"W-what?! We are going back?! What about the festival? What's happening?"
When Felix informed Asher that they have to head back, he had a lot of questions.
Actually, Felix himself also had a lot of questions. Because, this came out of nowhere.
The emperor's death was caused by natural causes. That's what they were informed.
The emperor had been in good health lately from what Felix observed and this death made Felix feel suspicious but he didnt think about it anymore.
He definitely didn't see this coming while they were here though.
When the granduke himself knocked on his door and informed him of the tragic news, Felix himself felt very surprised. It just felt wrong. That old man was doing very well. What could he say? People could die at any time.
After all the guests were informed, the festival was cancelled and they were asked to leave.
