Chapter 301

Bruce headed to Princess Clarice's chamber with a clear mission in mind.

" Knock... Knock... Knock..." The knocks at the door echoed through the room, eliciting an immediate reaction from Princess Clarice, who promptly distanced herself from her brother-in-law, who was also her lover.

"Come in," called Clarice, her voice exuding sweetness.

Upon opening the door, Bruce encountered the couple. The indifference with which they regarded the consequences of their actions was shocking, even to someone accustomed to carrying out dark missions on behalf of the Patriarch. Clarice's tranquility, in particular, after having participated in the death of her own sister, was disturbing. Despite the lack of concrete evidence of her direct authorship in the crime, all evidence pointed to her culpability, in addition to the fact that she and her lover had orchestrated the death of three other women in a similar manner.
