029. Imperial Prince is Going Home -3 (Part Two)

**

The Paladins had set up a cordon around the crime scene.

People from the marketplace gathered around and whispered to each other.

"Is it another murder?"

"Didn't something like this happen last time too?"

"Just what are the patrolmen doing these days, I wonder..."

I observed their behaviour while sitting inside my carriage. The vehicle soon set off again.

"Please do not worry, your highness. The Paladins will surely get to the bottom of this and deal with the matter appropriately," Harman said while looking at me with a concerned expression on his face. "You seemed to be rather greatly shocked at what happened, your highness."

I shifted my head after hearing that. A deeply sunken pair of eyes reflected in the mirror mounted on the carriage's door stared right back at me.

Shock? Yup, that sounded about right. Quite huge, in fact. However, it wasn't because I witnessed a scene of murder.
