Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

A figure suddenly burst out from behind the throne. "You damn fraud, I'm going to kill you!"

Andrew and the others were startled and looked over—it was actually Logan, who had done nothing

throughout this entire ordeal. He looked a mess, covered in dust and fuming with rage.

Andrew leaped to the lakeside and strode toward him. "Logan, where the hell did you go?"

Wiping sweat from his face, Logan pointed furiously at the puppet. "That filthy old scumbag tricked me! That's

where I've been! I barely made it back in time!"

He pulled back part of the puppet's torso as he spoke and yanked hard. To everyone's shock, a body came

tumbling out from inside.

Chantelle gasped. "Mr. Veyne?"

Tiana's eyes blazed. "Wait—so you're saying that cranky old scammer has been pretending to be the Little

Emperor this whole time?"

She looked ready to lay into Magnus right there.

Andrew quickly stepped in, his expression tense. "Mrs. Rhodes, don't hit him! There's no way that was a

person in disguise!"

Chantelle agreed. "Exactly. Even Stanley admitted that the puppet was the actual Little Emperor from the

Fallen Crimson Dynasty. Mr. Veyne couldn't have pulled that off."

Logan flipped Magnus over and suddenly let out a startled cry, unable to say another word.

Andrew looked over, and his eyes immediately widened—Magnus was already dead.
