Chapter 57

Sylas, Toby, and Max walked together through the corridors of the mansion. Servants who had just resumed their duties after the commotion threw furtive glances their way. When they reached a quiet part of the garden, Toby spoke up in a frustrated tone.

"My lord! Why? Why did you do that?" Toby asked, unable to contain his anger.

"What do you mean?" Sylas replied, pretending not to understand.

"We already know from Max that the mastermind is Young Master Dani...!" Toby blurted out, but Sylas cut him off sharply.

"Watch your words! Dani is my brother," Sylas said firmly, though his voice was low, aware that some nearby servants had already perked up their ears to listen in.

"Then at least explain why, my lord. Why did you let this happen?" Toby asked, pounding his chest in frustration. Sylas looked away, gazing at the distant clouds with a melancholy expression.
