Due to the hopelessness of the situation, Nadia's second older brother Bernardo faked his own death for a chance to take the risk of getting out of Safiro.
A loyal warrior who was sick and dying proposed to have his corpse be used so that even if Dempsey's men dug up the grave, they would find it had a corpse in it.
With this, Bernardo who was among the best warriors left in Safiro was able to escape.
'They have to go that far?! Would Count Dempsey truly have graves checked?! That's too much.'
Arabella was horrified. Wasn't it a human being's barest minimum to at least respect the dead's body and not mess with it anymore? Why would Count Dempsey go as far as having it dug up?
"Count Dempsey was wary of us siblings. He had already imprisoned the Chief and the first heir but he still feared we might be able to do something," Nadia answered Arabella's unvoiced question. It was obvious because of her expression.
