108 — Broken Promise

Seated on his bed, Lucian lifted his gaze when he heard the door open. 

"Have you called for me, Your Highness?.." Suyou hesitantly asked, his voice raspy. It was obvious he had been crying for a long time. 

"I heard that you were by her side when she…" Lucian paused, unable to continue his sentence. Everything felt surreal, like a nightmare he couldn't wake up from.  

"That is true…"

"Is there anything she said? Perhaps… a wish?" Lucian's voice was barely above a whisper, unexpectedly lower than the usual tone Suyou was accustomed to hearing. 

At first, Lucian couldn't trust this man. He always stood beside his sister like a well trained dog, ready to bite anyone who would bother his master. However, when he heard about her death, after feeling completely lost, only one thought crossed his mind. Perhaps it was a murder.
