章節 96: Alchemy

'Ties with one of the princes?'

Arvell's eyes narrowed as he processed the new information he'd been given.

'Even if he'd received his job through underhanded means, how does that change anything? It's not like a royal family member would find any value in killing off a couple of 13-year-old-kids.'

"Do you know which prince it was? Was it the first or the second?" Arvell asked.

Wilfried his eyes and exhaled audibly.

"That's the thing; I couldn't find anything more than that. So all I can say for sure is that the person responsible for surveying the beasts had received his position through one of the princes."

'Whoever did it is probably trying to keep a tight leash on the spread of information.' Arvell hypothesized.

The prince in question probably didn't want this incident to drag down his reputation, so he most likely removed any loose ends before the information could spread.

"Hmm… I see. Was his punishment decided?"

Wilfried's grim expression took a darker turn.
