Wolfhard couldn't act very well so he promptly chose to keep his mouth shut

Markus after leaving the throne turns around to face Wolfhard

'Child you must have been confused whatever story Steffen told you was a lie, your mother was a royal maid until an incident which after she left the palace grounds, we all thought you were the Emperor's illegitimate son but it seems will be all wrong'

Markus in front of the throne room doors spoke of private matter seemly wanting the rats to hear him maybe he wanted to protect Wolfhard out of pity

'I wish you luck in the new chapter of your life you will need it'

With those last words, the group split up

Ethan and Wolfhard not needed in the palace went back to the mansion, and there was an obvious change in how Ethan treated Wolfhard no more was there Noble respect, and Wolfhard was now just an orphan village boy. Ethan now treated him as a pest waiting for judgment from his lord, they came back early afternoon but the Marquis didn't come back until midnight
