News arrived from Nerovia–the imposter posing as Nicholas had been uncovered. It turned out he was just a cominon man, someone who bore a striking resemblance to Nicholas. After being noticed by Nicholas, he had been taken in and trained to mimic his every move.

After Nicholas left Nerovia, this man had assumed his identity, visiting the places Nicholas was known to frequent. This explained why earlier investigations had suggested that Nicholas rarely left his fief. In reality, he had long since disguised himself and moved about freely.

“Has the man been secured?” Carissa asked quickly.

“Don’t worry, he’s been taken care of,” Jacob replied.

Carissa let out a small sigh of relief. “Good. Prince Nicholas cannot appear in Nerovia again. I’ve come to understand his intentions. He’s been hiding under the guise of Gordon, sending orders from Willowbrook Estate. Everyone would believe that the so–called rebel leader is Prince Hayden. Meanwhile, Prince Nicholas would have been known to be in Nerovia this whole time, never once involved in the rebellion.”

Jacob nodded. “Yes. If the rebellion fails, it won’t concern him. He can even claim righteousness by killing Prince Hayden. If the rebellion succeeds, all of it would have been his to claim.”
