King Leon IX was strolling around.
With a touch of gray at his temples, King Leon looked vibrant, with a straight posture and powerful strides—there was no hint of illness about him.

Except for the annual Kingdom Ceremony, people in Hesitins hardly realize that they still have such a majesty.

Andy Nan assassinated the Grand Duke of Graz?
Impossible!
This was Goethe's first reaction.
Because, with Andy Nan's intelligence, even if he really hated the Grand Duke of Graz, he wouldn't use such a 'stupid' and 'crude' way. It should be more subtle.
However, Goe...

The carriage rolled over the cobblestone road. The crimson under the wheels had faded, but the crimson on the edges of the wheels became increasingly vivid. The soldiers guarding the castle gate looked at the slowly approaching black carriage with both vigilance and fear.

Goethe didn't elaborate further, but just a simple question was enough for the clever young Andy Nan.

"Are you saying that last night's attackers are connected to the 'White Lion Club'?"
The young man frowned as well.
