Rene walked out of the Earl's mansion, squinted instinctively, and took a deep breath It'd been half a ht and snow

To Rene's surprise, there were soldiers in uniforuarding crossroads in an orderly fashi+on A few blood stains dotted the snowy ground, but there were neither bodies nor scattered clothing around, which e the dead when they cleared the battlefield What he saw confirmed his supposition that these troops were different froht? ” He looked at Iron Axe ”How is Longsong Stronghold?”

”Everything is alright” The tall, strong, foreignas Rene asked

”That htly relieved ”If Stronghold is intact and the Honeysuckle Faood word for me” He didn't care about Jacques' fate ”That idiot aled the Elk Family into a catastrophe, so whatever happened to him isn't my concern”

”Brother what on earth did Jacques do?” Aurelia leaned over and asked quietly

Rene hesitated, shook his head and said, ”I don't know”

Aurelia instantly ”

Rene smiled bitterly He really didn't kno to answer that question He couldn't simply say that Jacques intended to rebel, because he only knew about the planning stages and didn't kno that plan turned out After soo to the castle with me?”

”Of course I'ive these ht” She stared at Iron Axe and said, ”I think Milord Petrov wouldn't just sit by and do nothing about it”

Luckily, the prince wasn't expecting an answer ”Please rise Before I ordered the attack on the Elk territory, Petrov had repeatedly assured me that you would never take part in Jacques Medde's rebellion, and it seeht about you But how did you end up in the basement?”

Rene cast an appreciative look at Petrov and told the prince what had happened in his family

”I see” The prince nodded ”It's a shahold wouldn't have gone through this disaster”
