234: You all better tell the truth

'Why is there a messenger bird outside the Duke's window? It looks exactly like the one my benefactors use. Is it time for them to move already? This is not a good time!'

The moment Dimitry spotted the messenger bird outside the Duke's window, his heart raced, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He needed an excuse to exit the Duke's office and head to a secluded location.

But it would take a lot of work for him.

Duke Victor looked interested in what Dimitry was planning to do next.

"So, what are you planning to do? Will you sacrifice everything you have to chase after what you feel is right? Or would you play a safe move?"

The duke asked, and Dimitry's heart skipped more than a few beats in fear. He did not know what to think and was unsure if he had been caught.

"Huh! What do you mean by that?"

Dimitry pretended to be clueless and asked this question. He made sure that none of his thoughts showed up on his face.
