“One day my brother was out on the forest to deal with animals that were preying on the livestock of our people. And he, just did not came back the same again.” Arnold said. “This forest, is it the one that borders Alvannia and parts of Jennovia?” I asked. “Yes, that is correct your majesty.

Chapter 447 Tarmac’s Other Side (1) “You are not asking for yourself as well?” Regaleon asked with a raised eyebrow. “I am also at fault with knowing and not reporting to it to your majesty sooner.” Arnold bowed his head. “I will take any punishment you see fit, your majesty.” There was silence for a while.

“You believe that the count’s beliefs are false?” Regaleon asked in a neutral tone. “Of course it is!” Arnold raised his tone because of his emotions. “My mother had been faithful to him once they were married. She had told him many times that I... I am his son. But he does not believe her words.” “And why does your father not believe your mother’s words?” I asked. “Because their marriage was a forced one.” Arnold replied. “My mother... she was the most beautiful lady in the…

We were riding the Forger family’s carriage with Arnold inside. The sceneries are definitely different in the day compared to when we passed by last night. I can see the houses more clearly on the way to the heart of the city. “The houses around here are quite luxurious.” I said to Arnold. “The city is quite faring well I see.” “Well, the ones that are living in this part of the city are mostly the ones working in the government and their families.” Arnold replied. “Basically, they…

At lunch the countess Elena had asked as to eat with them again. Regaleon and I agreed thinking that talking to Count Forger and Raymond will give us some inputs in what is their business and why they are being secretive with the details.

When we arrived Count Forger’s family was already there except for the eldest son, Raymond. “Good afternoon, your majesties.” Count Forger…

I opened my eyes and saw that there was already light outside the window. It was still early in the morning and there was still not much sound heard from the outside. Regaleon was still sleeping beside me, his breathing calm. I slowly got up from bed, being careful not to wake Regaleon up. I know that he is as tired as everybody else from the journey, but he still needs to think of work. And the count’s business here in Tarmac is also weighing in his mind. I put a robe around my body and walked…

Chapter 441 The Forger Family (2) The dinner was more on Count Forger highlighting his eldest son’s achievements. It was obvious that even his wife and second son looked shy at what the count was doing. Regaleon on the other hand was keeping neutral face. His reply to the count’s remarks were brief and did not hold any confirmation. He did not confirm or deny any of the count’s compliments about his son. “I see that your son has been a good help in your work here in Tarmac count.” Regaleon…
