Chapter 530: Shock & Slave

"Wh-what do you mean?"

Certainly, the puppet's words, or to be more exact the words of the person controlling the puppet were a bit preposterous, but looking at his skills, it wasn't something that he could brush aside.

Furthermore, he had a feeling that the puppet wasn't lying to him, so he decided to take the bait and ask that question.

The puppet seemed to have already expected that question, as it answered back with another question,

"Why do you think those guys were able to come up to the heart of your defenses so easily?"

It was weird indeed, as Count Riva had trained his soldiers to be loyal to him, and hear his words against anyone else, the only exception would be…

'The Palace'!

It wasn't their direct intervention, as probably they wouldn't want to act so brazenly and attack their vassals, as those damn bureaucrats would capitalize on the distress.
