Melek frowned as he looked at the both of them. "Who died, Ashley?"
Ashley looked at him and sighed, "I had Albert investigate the man you were referring to."
Melek gritted his teeth, "So he died already. When?"
"Ten years ago. It seems he died due to lack of water," Albert answered.
"Lack of water?" Ashley asked.
Albert nodded, "That's right. His old neighbors said that after they stopped looking for the wolf who bewitched him because they thought he was hallucinating, he left the village for two days and returned with a big smile even though he got injured in his right foot."
"He kept on repeating, 'I killed my child.' and laughed. Then they said he had a very high fever for days, and he refused to eat or drink anything until he died."
"So he just went crazy and starved himself?" Ashley asked.
"That was the case."
As Ashley looked at him, Melek sighed, "I apologize, Lord Melek."
