203. Interrogation

Sylvester didn't expect the King to be like this. But, on another look, he could see that this was all just for the show to save his own neck. He could smell the lies, but there was fear and anxiety as well, clearly showing the King was ready to do anything as long as he could survive this crisis. 

"Rise, King Gracia. On your land, an unholy act had transpired. Now it's up to you to serve us and ensure that the true culprit is found—unless you had something to do with this." Sylvester spoke in a respectful yet angry tone. 

Meanwhile, he was also worried about something else, a realisation that had only hit him just now. He had wondered why the Inquisitor High Lord had come here himself instead of only having Lady Aurora's support. 

From what he could remember, the Gracia Kingdom had 3 Grand Wizards or Wizard-Knights. That would mean if it turns out that the royal family was behind the crime, then these powerful guardians of the kingdom might respond.
