77. Mansion Fortress

They both returned to Cassius's mansion, riding the fastest horse-drawn carriage he owned.

Inside the carriage, Cassius continued to hold his wife's body, cold as a corpse, and kissed her.

He whispered, "Don't go. I haven't told you that I love you. Don't you dare leave me; I'll pull you out of hell soon. I promise."

At this moment, Cassius's mind was solely focused on Eleanor. He no longer thought about what the Emperor might do next, given Julian's recent aggressive moves after tearing down all pretenses with Cassius in front of the nobles.

As they neared the mansion, suddenly, their carriage stopped.

Cassius drew the window curtain and looked outside, finding about 50 royal soldiers blocking their way.

He took a deep breath and summoned one of his shadow knights, a figure stealthily creeping into the carriage and bowing, waiting for Cassius's command.
