Chapter 316 The Forgotten History

"Duke Fales indeed had blood on his hands, but the connection between the nobility and the Heretical Cult was a fact at the time, one that necessitated severe punishment," Mekefa slowly began. "Let's not forget...how the City of Defense vanished."

"What, you think I'm sympathizing with those useless nobles in the Royal Capital?" The man with the eyepatch coldly swept his gaze across the room before it finally rested on Ryan. "It's rather those lofty individuals who can't differentiate between fairy tales and facts that are the problem, always believing the Heretical Cult can be constrained by law and then blaming the general for being too harsh in his killing."

Ryan's expression grew solemn, but he uncharacteristically held his tongue.

Shandela realized immediately.

The "lofty individual" the man referred to was none other than His Highness the Crown Prince, and Ryan was the closest to the Crown Prince within the Royal Guards.
