253 A Tragic Love Story

There was unrest in the city.

Someone had blown off the palace gates, and the commotion that it made was so huge that they couldn't miss it even if they wanted to.

Even if someone hadn't heard the initial loud explosion, they'd have been filled in by the rumours going around.

Where was it?

It was the royal palace!

How could they not care? It wasn't some sort of random house down the street.

It was the untouchable royal palace!

Something had happened. Black masked figures all around had broken into the place – or so the rumours went.

Still, everyone was talking about it, so some of it had to be true.

Who had the audacity to infringe on the royal family's authority? Was this a rebellion?

Not only that, the intruders were doing so in broad daylight!

How daring was that?
