The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 153 Oliver’s Letter

The King gestured for Pablo to take a seat, and ordered coffee to be served.

Pablo took a sip, then asked, “Your Majesty, I heard Oliver was sent on official duty. How did it go? Was everything been settled?”

The King rested his hands on the table, fingers interlaced, and looked at Pablo with a shema expresion you hadn’t come to ask today, I was planning to summon you to the palace tomorrow.

He pulled a report from the stack on his desk and said, “This is a report that Darien Leonard risked his life to deliver. Darien is gravely wounded and won’t survive,

Pablo’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly stood, took the report from the King’s hands, and opened it

His face paled, his hands trembling as he muttered, “What?”

The King’s voice was heavy as he continued, “I’ve already sent Doug, He had people race to bring back Oliver’s belongings, and among them was a letter addressed to the County Princess of Cromwell. Since last night was the celebration banquet, I didn’t tell you earlier–it would only make matters worse!

Pablo’s heart sank, a painful ache spreading through him. He asked in a hushed tone, “Did they find his body?”

The King’s voice was tight with anger, “Doug’s investigation suggests that Oliver was most likely blown apart in the explosion. They found many severed limbs at the site–no sign of Oliver yet. However, they did recover his sword, completely unharmed. Doug has sent it back.”

“How could this happen?” Pablo’s voice cracked with disbelief. “Did he act recklessly? He’s never been so impulsive…” His heart was torn–how could he explain this to Douglas? Oliver was the Langley family’s only blood heir, and he hadn’t even married yet.

The King’s eyes burned with fury. “According to Darien, their mission was compromised. Oliver had no choice but to act early. Doug is hunting down the traitor now. I swear, I will tear them apart piece by piece.”

Pablo took the letter in his hands. It was addressed to Isolde. The King hadn’t opened it–that was his trust in Pablo.

The King spoke with an edge in his tone, “I know he was betrothed to Cristina. Handle this matter as you see fit. Oliver’s death should not be made public yet.”

Pablo’s voice was heavy with grief, “Baron has already broken the engagement. He annulled it before Oliver left for his mission. I’ll take care of it, Your Majesty. Don’t trouble yourself with it.”

Pablo understood how deep the King’s affection for Oliver ran. The King would be devastated by the news.

“Broken the engagement?” The King’s tone turned icy. “So the Langley family has decided Oliver is unworthy?”

He paused, recalling that Baron was Pablo’s son–in–law, and bit back the rest of his words.

“I plan to visit Zloimond,” Pablo said quietly.

King replied, “No need. Grand King Emeritus has
