Chapter 141

Say that once more.

Wesleigh unknowingly flicked cigarette ash as he listened to the report. It had been two days since Karennas letter was introduced up within the assembly. The assistant put down the report and added.

Theres a excessive risk that Viscount Ian Hielo handed by the world throughout Karennas bandit subjugation. In any case, the routes from Hielo territory to the central are restricted, and the most secure and quickest is thru the triangle of Karenna, Rongin, and so forth.

If solely there werent any bandits. Wesleigh hurriedly stubbed out his cigarette and frowned. If the mercenary who had eradicated them was Ian, he would certainly have doubts in regards to the undead.

Did he discover traces of necromancy? Earlier than that, why did the bandits have undead within the first place? That bastard Ian is perhaps investigating individually. Did he enter the archives after becoming a member of the Ministry of Magic?

Her thoughts proper now was a multitude. Anything was wonderful, however Gale completely should not discover out in regards to the forbidden necromancy. As she nervously chewed her nails, the assistant gently stopped her.

Weve despatched provider pigeons to Karenna for particulars, so a reply ought to arrive quickly.

Verify if Ian has accessed the archives.

Sure. I perceive.

Did he come to work?

They are saying hes been at work since daybreak. He in all probability has loads to study, going round numerous locations exterior the Magic Operations Division.

She felt like her abdomen was turning and blood was speeding to her head. She felt like she needed to name Ian proper now and shout at him to relax. Was he the one who eradicated the bandits in Karenna? What did he see there, and what did he discover out?

Simply as Wesleigh couldnt maintain again and was about to take out one other cigarette with trembling arms,

Knock knock.

Wesleigh-nim. A message from His Highness Gale.

From His Highness? Are available.

She was unaware. That her arms had stopped shaking. The assistant silently watched and pushed the papers to at least one facet. At any time when there was a message from Gale, work at all times took a backseat.

He stated to return to the palace every time you will have time.

Actually? Alright. Unwell go immediately.

Wesleigh instantly grabbed her coat and stood up from her seat. There was not a second of hesitation. How lengthy had it been since he had referred to as for her?

When rumors began circulating about him spending time with the Hayman familys daughter, contact naturally grew to become rare. The Hyman daughter was somebody who might undoubtedly assist Gales trigger, so she had endured it, however she was slowly reaching her restrict.

Ah, and some days in the past, there was a witness who noticed Viscount Ian Hielo getting into Marivs palace lined in blood.

The assistant adopted her and verbally reported the remainder of the minor particulars. Wesleighs footsteps echoing by the empty hall appeared a bit rushed.

To Marivs palace?

I dont know the rationale, but it surely was late at night time.

Since Gales palace wasnt a surveillance space Wesleigh wanted to regulate, she hadnt seen that Ian had seen Gale first. She frowned as she obtained into the carriage.

What in regards to the mansion?

Hes at present staying at Viscount Romandros mansion within the administration, however theres no motion, together with guards. It appears theres solely a pregnant girl and a servant.

Actually?

He hardly ever returns residence on account of work.

Then scale back the surveillance on the mansion to a minimal.

Unwell shift the remaining to Ian.

Wesleigh nodded, taking a look at Gales approaching palace. It had been a very long time since she had seen her lover. Feeling her coronary heart pounding, she ran up the steps in a single go.

Knock knock.

Your Highness Gale.

Wesleigh, youre right here. I used to be ready for you.

Its been a very long time. Youve been busy currently, so its arduous to see you. I assume youre not going flower viewing with the Hyman daughter at the moment.

Gale sat languidly on the couch and simply laughed. The cigarette smoke scattered together with his laughter. He gestured for her to return nearer.

Come right here.

And he pulled her wrist and sat her on his lap. Wesleigh naturally nestled into his arms and hugged his neck.

Wesleigh. Ive been really inconsiderate.

Your Highness, why are you abruptly like this?

Wesleigh coughed up blood. An infinite stream of blood. Gale knelt on one knee and met Wesleighs gaze.

Unwell ask you, Wesleigh.

Please, ask the suitable query.

Did you attempt to solid necromancy on me?

Ask if I had the intention to betray you, or if not, if I can swear everlasting loyalty. Wesleigh pressed down on her tongue that attempted to maneuver by itself. However ultimately, the reality poured out with the blood.

Sure.

Gale frowned and stood up from his seat. After wiping the blood with a handkerchief, he instructed his subordinate.

Watch her and not using a moments hole.

Sure. Your Highness.

What about Wesleighs assistant?

Hes ready exterior.

Get rid of him. And inform the Ministry of Magic that Wesleigh is on a enterprise journey in the intervening time. Put together the personnel to scrub out the Magic Help Division as quickly because the personnel assembly is over.

After the subordinate acknowledged the order, he disappeared again into the shadows. Behind Gale, who was about to go away the bed room, Wesleighs scream pierced by.

You, youre at all times like this to me!

Gale, I like you. Thats why I did it. As a result of I knew you’d discard me later, I simply wished to maintain you by my facet! My future was at all times you!

Gale glanced again. Wesleigh, lined in blood, bit her lip as tears dripped down. However Gale solely chuckled.

When you wished to be collectively, you need to have recognized your house. Wesleigh. Then I might have taken accountability for you until the tip. You crossed the road.

His gaze shifted to Wesleighs decrease jaw. Blood was not pouring out. The impact of the reality serum was stated to final whereas the topic coughed up blood.

And I cant consider your phrases with out blood.

Kwang!

The door closed with out hesitation. In full darkness, Wesleigh glared at the place Gale had been, swallowing her tears. Cant consider with out blood? Nice. I perceive.

Crack.

She tore her lips, her eyes blazing with livid tears. How might he do that to her? How dare he

Lets see it by to the tip. Gale.

She rubbed her face within the blood pooled on the ground and screamed in agony. Gales head butler locked the door, making an attempt to disregard the faintly audible shrieks.

***

Did you hear that? I heard Gale and Minister Wesleighs relationship isnt good today.

Due to the Hyman daughter?

I dont know. There have been some rumors going round. However theyve been collectively for thus lengthy, you recognize?

However Minister Wesleigh is on a enterprise journey today. I heard Gale personally ordered it, so if their relationship was unhealthy, he wouldnt belief her like that.

Thats true. And is Minister Wesleigh somebody to be trifled with? Shes corresponding to the Hyman daughter in each means besides bloodline.

Then Minister Wesleigh wont be attending the personnel assembly?

She doesnt want to return. Shell be reappointed anyway.

Because the personnel assembly approached, every time folks gathered, they talked about high-ranking officers. It was a pure ambiance, because it was a spot the place the heads of the 12 months had been determined.

Swish.

Hm?

Whats unsuitable?

No, I believed I felt someones presence.

Who else is right here apart from us? Cease speaking nonsense and hurry up. Properly be late.

Because the chattering group disappeared, a ripple appeared within the area. It was Bareto, Wesleighs assistant, who had hidden his look with magic. With a troubled expression, he seemed in direction of Gales palace.

Unwell prevent quickly. Wesleigh-nim.
