บท 125: Messenger's Death

"What!? How can you kill him just like that?" 

Everyone turned their heads to the end of the table, where Erika, who was wearing a red dress, and City Lord Alderic, who was wearing a red coat, were facing each other a meter apart.

Erika's furious and sudden shout startled everyone present in the hall.

They turned to look at the situation ahead as the guards present in the hall immediately became alert as well.

Alderic closed his eyes for a bit as he put his hand forward, gesturing for Erika to calm down. "Now, now. Just calm down a little."

"That messenger was not truthful in his words, did not cooperate, and tried to attack me during our interrogation. I just acted out of reflex and ended up killing him accidentally," he explained to the fuming Erika.

Hearing that, Erika just fumed even more. However, just as she was about to lash out out of frustration, she suddenly recalled what Miguel told her earlier.
