"Captain, what do you mean he's dead?" Stephania questioned with a grave look. "Don't tell me that you and your men were enjoying too much of your interrogation that you accidentally killed him? You know that my father has condemned such malpractices."

"No, nothing like that, my lady." The captain instantly denied Stephania's statement while dismissively raising both hands. "As a matter of fact, the interrogation was going pretty well, and we were able to extract some valuable information out of him."

"Then, what went wrong?" Stephania asked as her expression turned even more severe.
