Chapter 421 The Rogue Family

Riley let out a wry smile. “You’ve figured it out, haven’t you? Ashley told me that Catherine was upset because she raised some objections at Mystic Palace that the King didn’t accept, specifically about your hereditary title. I later asked people close to Catherine, and it turns out there was some truth to Ashley’s words. Ashley said Catherine hates you. If you can’t inherit your title, she believes it would make Catherine happy. So, following her instructions, I left the palace and went to find Arthur. Arthur introduced me to Darwin, who gave me the plan. He said I should tell Catherine that a stone tablet at Vruburn Church contained something related to the Wallace family. Catherine sent me to Zrork City to assist Vance.”

Isolde paused, her mind racing. “Who made the connection to Vance? Did you and Vance conspire before you went to Zrork City?”

“I didn’t conspire with him. I arrived in Zrork City first, and only after that did Vance come.”

“Then did you ask Vance who instructed him to cause trouble in Zrork City?” Oliver asked, narrowing his eyes.

“I didn’t ask, but we all know it’s for Ashley’s sake,” Riley replied.

Isolde exchanged a glance with Oliver–this was a significant clue. If Riley hadn’t been in contact with Vance directly, it meant Darwin must have been the one to approach Vance. Vance’s recent boldness suggested he had someone powerful backing him up.

“Darwin–was that the deputy commander of the imperial soldiers, Darwin Fuentes?” Isolde asked.

“Yes, that’s him.”

“Arthur introduced you to him?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, you can go now,” Isolde said, dismissing Riley.

Riley bowed deeply. “Thank you. I’ll take my leave now. But what about the authorities?”
