"What was the all about Father?" Aval asked his father once they came back, "Why were those bandits bowing to you?"

Alice asked as well, "Yes, duke, please answer the question why were those bandits bowing in front of you?"

Philip was shocked as well, What was going on, was this some sort of plan of Duke of south and Dule of east to annihilate him and other nobles? that's why they weren't attacked, but he was and Ralf and his son are dead?

"Was this your plan?" Philip asked, and everyone looked at him, you want to kill us all and take the profits?"

Alice's eyes widened and her face paled she was a smart woman and next heir of course she was highly trained and intelligent, so a fear crept into her heart when she heard this, she felt so scared  just by the thought that her father might be involved with bandits, this fear was so strong that she might get a heart attack, "Father, what are you saying?"
