Chapter 283: The Frustrated Head of Knight

Lance, the Head of Knight was very frustrated these days

Ferelden is a country who prides itself on its freedo the responsibility to protect this freedoht, was clear that this ‘freedom’ has an unspoken line that should never be crossed

The different cults within the borders were always the thorn in the flesh for His Highness the King After all, a lesson was learned frodom of Helius No one dared to underesti as they row and step on your head the nextattention

This tih was attacked It was not a big deal initially, but His Highness the King still dictated hiate the matter, and it was a must for them to show him the results

But… What could he investigate here?

The case was sians attacked this street hell, and burnt down a tes were nowhere to be seen once they started their investigation - they had hidden the before this! The leader of the cri for the people to see

If Lance intended to end this vaguely, he could simply close the case with the dude’s head Unfortunately, His Highness was not a ueness, especially in cases where cults were involved; the stakes were too high

Basically, they would never be allowed to leave this bloody place unless they solve the incident, and bring along soitimate witnesses and evidence

That sentence alone could already be the cause of his frustration

Hence, they ca daily patrols and sudden spot checks in order to obtain some relevant evidence Sadly, whenever he tried to ask the residents around here, jumbled words leaped out of their mouths when they tried to speak; he could never understand what they were staying, which only served to intensify his headache

How could they not kno to speak the co? Lance refused to believe that Even so, he could not deploy harsh measures due to the sensitive nature of the cult issue, which hy he had no choice but to allow the people to pretend as if they were dumb or h the evidence were right before his eyes

Thus, they were stuck with zero progress as days went by The officer that came with him was not on his side, and would periodically come to him and insult him On top of that, the soldiers under his command were not the obedient type, too; they had a conflict with the locally stationed soldiers just days ago, and the general came to question hiize for his subordinates’ behaviors?

When he was jolted awake yesterday night, Lance realized that he suffered from severe hair fall due to the stress The incident happened so long ago, and the probability for them to uncover new clues became slimmer by the minute How is it possible for him to crack the case?

Might as well return to the King and beg for forgiveness, really…

The intention to give up grew stronger in his heart

However, the patrolling soldiers under his command returned early today to inform him that they arrested someone

Arrested someone? Was it because they found some clues? No, it was not; it was because the person behaved crazily and was spouting nonsense He even kicked so that the soldiers’ waists were injured

Could you i in his roolue his hair back on when he was suddenly told of the news He nearly un

earthed a whole piece of his scalp by it

He had a burning intention to commit homicide Seriously, those really cruel and inhumane ones

”Sir, we…”

Lance suppressed his inferno of rage as he interrupted the soldier’s words, ”Where the heck are your brains? What do you think you’re here for? Fighting with the soldiers fro issue after I apologized for you But now? Your waist snapped just after a kick by so to s, really!”

The soldiers were evidently shaken as they immediately explained, ”No! Sir, it’s because we…”

Sadly, Lance was not in the ht! Release him immediately! Hoould the locals think of us if this incident becaht a lesson by a local hero That’s what the press would love to write! Also, if the neighboring cahoutlifetime!”

”No, sir…”

”Enough of your explanations! Release hihness were alerted by this, even I would not be let off the hook”
