章節 221: Supper in the castle- Part 2

Beth was not sure if the King was truly joking or not. Beth looked at Markus who sat across from her before saying, "Milord, some of the men came with parchments that had seal on it from the royal court. They told that you ordered them to demolish the shop as it was not needed." 

Hearing this, Madeline felt her heart sink. She turned to look at her father in worry that they had to witness something like that. 

Calhoun asked again, "And how did you know that the order was from the royal court?"

Beth said, "When the shop was being broken down, Mr. Wilmot was passing by. He confirmed it." She had already seen the seal when the invitation has been sent to their house. 

"How fortunate," Calhoun chimed, the two words dripped in sarcasm but the Wilmot's didn't change their expressions. They knew the humans were stupid enough to go blabbering about it in the future.
