900 They Were Only Dogs (2/2)

”We follow her. Tamer, you stay here and watch the manor, just in case,” commanded Crazy Hound.

”Yes, leader,” said Tamer politely. He had many ”pets”. Although he could not monitor the entire manor, guarding the main gate and watching the baron should not be a problem.

Crazy Hound decided to lead the entire team for fear that Vicente had got his helpers. They secretly followed Shirley through the green field, thin trees, and finally arrived at the marsh filled with miasma.

At this time, Crazy Hound's eyes suddenly opened big, for he saw that Shirley had started walking back!

What did she do? How did she inform him?

No! They were fooled by her!

Crazy Hound was furious, but he knew that it would have been too late if he led the entire team back. So he and his team directly jumped out and closed in on Shirley.

”Who are you! What do you want!” Shirley shouted.

Crazy Hound said gloomily, ”Miss Shirley, where's Vicente?”

”I don't know. How do I know? He hasn't come back from the marsh yet,” said Shirley as calmly as she could.

”Then why are you here?” Crazy Hound was about to lose control.

Shirley responded coldly, ”Come to find him. But when I see the marsh, I know there's no way that I can find him in this place. I'm a noble lady! So I've decided to go back. He should just die in there.”

”If you don't change your mind, I'd have to take you back to the inquisition.” Crazy Hound's eyes started looking red.

”Dare you! I'm a noble!” said Shirley aloud.

Crazy Hound sneered, ”So what? As long as a noble has anything to do with a sorcerer, he will also be put on the gallows.”

”Take her!” commanded Crazy Hound. ”She'll know what an interrogation is like in the inquisition!”

”You crazy dogs! My father will protest to the Church. You will be severely punished!” Shirley screamed for she could not believe her ears.

”Go ahead!” Crazy Hound was not going to change his mind.

...

”The night watchers took Shirley to the inquisition?!” asked Baron Brenzell in great shock and anger.

After confirming the information, he had gone outraged. ”Those lunatics! They don't even obey the laws! I'm going to see the viscount!”

He then rushed out furiously.

After half a day, the baron came back with an extremely shocked look on his face. Facing his wife, who kept asking what was going on, the baron finally said, ”I don't know. I never expected this. The Church didn't care about nobles' opinions at all. They… They even threatened me. They said they'd take me in as well if they find anything against me.”

”Are they out of their minds?! The nobles will protest together!” The baron's wife could not believe it.

Brenzell shook his head dispiritedly. ”Protest? How? We can't defeat the Church.”

...

In the interrogation chamber, the screams of a young lady lingered.

”She still hasn't said anything?” asked Crazy Hound.

The interrogator replied gloomily, ”Not yet. She's more staunch than anyone I've seen. We've pretty much done the most severe damage to her body, but she still won't say a word.”

”Use divine spells then,” said Crazy Hound in despair.

The interrogator was shocked. ”She'll die. She's a noble.”

”It's okay. She's just a noble,” said Crazy Hound. The attitude that the Church showed today had further supported Crazy Hound and made him even crazier. In his mind, a noble lady who was willing to marry a sorcerer was by no means innocent, and neither was her family. He believed that the Lord would also be on his side.

The interrogator finally put on an evil and cunning smile. ”Alright. It's time for the nobles to understand who they are. They're only dogs raised by us.”

He walked into the interrogation chamber in long strides. The screams slowly turned into bloodcurdling cries like a nightmare. Eventually, even the cries had disappeared.

”Dead. What a pity. She had a pretty beautiful face.” The interrogator walked out with the look of excitement still on his face. Obviously, he enjoyed the process.

It was all quiet now in the interrogation chamber, as if the girl named Shirley had never even been sent into this place.
