Chapter 1371

The Astrology Department’s predictions were true. This year, there was indeed more rainfall than usual.

On the 18th of July, a torrential downpour began over the capital.

Outside the city, Nicholas‘ scouts spotted a group of people braving the rain, heading toward the capital.

The scouts were posing as peasants from the surrounding villages on the outskirts, and their entry into the city wouldn’t raise suspicion. When they recognized the leader of the group as Clifford, one of the scouts immediately carried a basket of fruit into the city.

Such common folk were often overlooked. Every day, peasants entered the city, either to sell their goods at the market or to deliver produce to the homes of the nobility.

The scout made his way to Willowbrook Estate’s back door. Once it opened, he quickly slipped inside.
