CHAPTER 37 (2). ARE YOU THE CULPRIT BEHIND THIS?

"..."

Patrizia stared at the Duke of Efreni with chilled eyes, and at that moment she reached an epiphany.

Ah, this man, definitely hated her.

"Duke, I really do not know. As Regent, I am the one who is responsible for leading this city, and for the sake of the Emperor, to find out who the culprit is. That is why such a remark just like before is beyond difficult for me. So, Duke, you are telling me to cover yesterday's events just to save a possible victim? Even if the two masters of the Empire were about to be killed?"

"… I apologize, Your Majesty. My thoughts were short."

"Yes, Duke. Of course, you should talk like that. The remarks just now were words that could be considered as treason. You must definitely know that."

"..."

"The Duke of Witherford will take full control of this matter and investigate. Can you do that for me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will search for the true culprit with all my heart."
