Chapter 53: The Secret Then, what was the price?

The duke did not seem surprised by this answer.

There was even a relieved smile on his face.

"I knew it, I knew it…"

he muttered to himself.

He didn't even ask Shaya where she got the answer or if there was any evidence.

"Thank you."

Sitar suddenly stood up and bowed slightly to Shaya.

Then, he called for the Arcane Butler in a low voice. The blue-white fat man, who had been holding out his poisonous blade, immediately returned to his polite butler appearance and brought his coat, hat, and cane.

"Then, please wait for me. I'll be back soon."

"Please wait a moment, Sitar."

Shaya stopped him. The duke turned around and looked at him calmly.

A pair of pitch-black eyes were as deep as the abyss, and the deep killing intent was like a beast that wanted to devour people. It hid its huge body under the calm water.
