Chapter 1057: Ambush

Five minutes later.

Elders Victor pushed open the door, surveyed the area, and then addressed the guard at the door, "Just now, what did the princess ask you?"

"The princess instructed me to ensure Elders Victor's safety and to not be negligent in the slightest," the guard said solemnly.

"Is that so? Is it really the case?"

Elders Victor asked with a light chuckle, "You can answer truthfully."

"To reply to Elders Victor, it's the absolute truth! Your subordinate, hasn't hidden a thing!"

The guard, staring straight ahead, answered expressionlessly.

"Very good."

Elders Victor smiled and nodded, then removed a necklace from his pale neck.

On the necklace, there was a seashell and a Copper Coin.

"Do you recognize it?"

"This..."

The guard had just taken one glance and was about to open his mouth.

Suddenly, he became stupefied.

His eyes, empty and lifeless.

"Now, please answer my question carefully."
