"How huge?" Eain She was interested to know e' it must mean really a lot of money Lyla had seen wealth and had served rich lords andcareer

So, if it's only 100 gold coins, she wouldn't call it huge Just old coins," Lyla said "Many bounty hunters were talking about this when they pass by Twig They drank wine and bought irls and discussed the hot new job Everyone seemed to be very excited"

Eold coins Mrs Adler was feeling the same unease They had also heard about this bounty for weeks during their travel

They could kind of guess what Lyla wanted to say It must be the bounty set up by Mars to catch E is after a criminal It was a woman as accused of murder And her victim is none other than our beloved queen," Lyla explained "It should be an easy job, right? They only need to catch a woman How difficult can it be?"

Ereement "Yeah"

"I aot soet and where people think she is going"

"Really? Then, please, do tell, Lyla dear," said E and pretended to look interested "I want to kno I can catch her"

At that moment, Emmelyn felt so heartbroken She really wanted to cry when she heard about the bounty that her husband set up for her Fortunately, she had her cup of wine to distract Lyla's attention fro her wine nonchalantly, while Lyla excitedly shared with her all the information she had collected from her brothel visitors

"They found out that she is a fordoossipy tone "She ca, so she could get closer to the late queen"

Emmelyn secretly clenched her fist under the table She really wanted to rip anyone's mouth who talked about her that way However, she couldn't do it to Lyla, because she knew Lyla only talked based on what she had heard

It was not her fault if Lyla was fed with lies fromoors' fault Emmelyn shouldn't blame other people who didn't know the real story

"She wanted to get closer to the queen because?" E Lyla's story "She wanted to get revenge for the fall of Wintermere?"

Lyla nodded affirmatively "Exactly She succeeded I heard that the queen really liked her and let her stay with her in the palace That's when she took the opportunity to kill Her Majesty"

She wiped tears from her eyes as she continued her story "Our beloved queen is now dead So, of course, the king wants her head for killing his mother"

"I see," said E? Do you have any physical description or other details?"

"I do, yeah," Lyla chuckled "I heard that she is going to Atlantea That's the land of the free"

Emmelyn furrowed her brows This was the first time she heard someone talked about Atlantea that way The land of the free?

"I have been to Atlantea but I don't know people call it the land of the free Can you explain to me what do you mean by that?" she asked Lyla with interest

"Well, that's how all cri wars in Terren call Atlantea They usually go there to escape punishment or prison here in Draec," said Lyla "So, it's known a the people of the underworld that Atlantea is the land of the free"
