About ten minutes later, Duke Anzu Seifer hurried to the scene.
Lake's body had already been dragged out of the study.
However, a heavy smell of blood still hung in the study.
This made Duke Seifer frown.
Standing behind him was a middle-aged butler in a dark black suit.
With a pale face, the butler bowed deeply, "My lord, Lake was killed instantly and without any guarding. I suspect the intruders are at least assassins from the sixth-order Sanctuary."
"Hmm? Sixth-order Sanctuary?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I got it." Duke Seifer nodded indifferently.
He scanned the room.
Other than the dried blood trace of Lake on the ground, multiple hidden compartments on the wall, under the window sills, and beneath the seats had been opened.
But the Duke didn't care, as the items in these hidden compartments weren't valuable.
The most valuable one was the [Experience Scroll of the Sixth Order], but it was going to expire shortly, and he was not too bothered about it.
