343.Chapter 343

The palace party was a lively affair filled with laughter and joy.

No one could have predicted that as soon as the party ended, everyone would be trapped inside the grand hall.

Before anyone could make sense of the situation, the palace servants who had been controlled by Eliza’s spiders were dragged out one by one.

In front of all the ministers, the imperial guards swung their blades, and heads rolled. Blood gushed like a fountain, splattering onto those nearby who had no time or space to dodge.

Not surprisingly, among those were members of the Stonor family.

“Oh! Father!” Sophie was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly hid behind Gabriel.

In stark contrast, Gabriel’s expression was dark and stormy, his cold gaze fixed on Nolan.

“Your Highness, since you already know who the assassins are, why involve us in this? Are our lives so meaningless to you, or is this some kind of personal vendetta?” Gabriel said.

“Duke of Mowbay, there’s no need to panic,” Nolan replied. “As long as you have no ties to these assassins, I won’t harm you. But if I find anything suspicious on you, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

As he spoke the last sentence slowly, Nolan’s piercing gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Sophie and Gabriel. His eyes lingered on them with a meaningful glint, a silent warning impossible to ignore.

Gabriel clenched his fists tightly, his fury simmering beneath the surface.

Suddenly, Sophie spoke up from behind him. “Sin–since that’s the case, why didn’t you investigate Eliza, Your Highness? She rushed off right after the party ended. Doesn’t that seem suspicious?”

“Shut your mouth!” Gabriel said.

He hadn’t expected Sophie to say something so reckless at such a critical moment. Turning sharply, he shot her a piercing glare.

Sophie flinched in fear.

But the next instant, she felt a surge of defiance well up in her heart.
