Sharky pretended like he had no idea what happened and entered the eastern palace like normal. He immediately expressed his shock when he saw the flattened Eastern Palace.
Someone spoke up from the side. "Isn't this Sir Sharky?"
Sharky turned around. He noticed that a guard with dark circles was walking over. He nodded, and asked, "What happened here?"
Piao Duandiao was quite shocked. An imperial guard like him obviously needed to recognize everyone and what happened here. He didn't expect the new crown prince's palace manager would asked him for information.
As such, he immediately had a favorable impression of Sharky. "Sir Sharky, the assassins attacked the eastern palace yesterday. There was even a grandmaster who came, and his majesty personally got involved. This place was razed to the ground from the blast waves."
Sharky asked with concern, "Are the Crown Prince, Crown Princess and Princess okay?"
