Chapter 33, No Way Out_2

Just as he was about to offer comfort, a guard rushed forward, interrupting the conversation between the father and son.

"Count, there's dire news!

The communication magic array in Bera City has just been activated. An urgent message has come from the capital. His Majesty... His Majesty has passed away!"

Upon hearing this news, Hudson was left dumbfounded. Although he knew that Caesar III's health wasn't good, just four months ago he was still capable of hosting meetings. Now he's suddenly gone.

Regaining his composure, Hudson immediately realized the magnitude of the problem. He didn't believe anyone would dare joke about something concerning the security of the kingdom.

It's quite a daze to think about it. The communication magic arrays stationed in each province have never been activated before. The first time Hudson witnessed its use was to announce the demise of the king.
