Suddenly, Hodge spoke, and his words were like an echo of Walden's own thoughts.
"Your Majesty, Milo, my little son, was in my master's mansion when the incident happened," Hodge said resentfully. "When the
evildoers broke into my master's mansion, my son was playing hide-and-seek with my master's grandson. My son survived the
slaughter only because he was hiding in an empty rice jar."
"Impossible!" Walden promptly denied it, but as soon as his words faded away, he realized that he should not have spoken.
Immediately, everyone had their eyes fixed on him.
"Why do you deny this so emphatically, Your Highness?" Hodge asked, looking at Walden suspiciously.
"I mean, as you said, the attackers burnt Scott's mansion to ashes. If your son was inside the mansion, he would have been

Hodge only felt the blood rushing to his head. His master's family had been annihilated, and his son had been forced to witness it

you're the murderer who killed my master, snatched his pills, and burned his mansion down to destroy the evidence!" Hodge pointed a finger at Walden in accusation, holding his crying son by the other arm. "How could you be so cold- blooded?" Walden said, "Hodge Su, you are talking nonsense. I
