Gathering evidence

After that matter was settled, we were shown to rooms in the duke's manor since it would take some time for the duke to prepare everything.

When we were shown to our rooms, the first thing that happened was…

Everyone exploded.

That was to be expected since they had been holding back the entire time.

Even now, it was very likely that we were being watched by the duke's people, so we should have been holding back and watching what we said. However, it was hard to hold back with these soldiers who wore their emotions on their sleeves more.

General Killock was the one that led them as he smashed a chair once the servants had all left.

"That duke! I knew from the very beginning that we shouldn't trust him, but to think that he would insult us like this!"

The officers all agreed with him and it even seemed like Cecilia agreed, though she held herself back as she stood beside me.
