章節 60: Eavesdropping

Meanwhile, Grimm surreptitiously eavesdropped on a meeting taking place just outside the throne room, utilizing his mastery of magic. With a flick of his hand, he transformed the nearest iron object into a concealed listening device, ensuring he remained undetected. However, Grimm's caution got the better of him, and he limited his surveillance to the iron closest to the door, wary of drawing attention to his covert activities.

As the conversation unfolded and the truth behind the tavern massacre eluded the kingdom, Grimm couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. "Ah, never mind. It seems the kingdom's reliance is misplaced," he mused to himself, concealing his frustration beneath a veneer of indifference. Just as he sensed Edward's impending presence, Grimm swiftly moved away from the door, attempting to evade any prying eyes. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain as a perceptive servant caught sight of him.
