Chapter 22

Aghast, the Empress glared at the necklace.

How could that be in the hands of the Duke? She couldn’t believe her eyes. Everything was falling apart in her perfectly designed scheme. She believed that the prickly Duke of Reinhardt had finally been put to eternal sleep.

She thought the Duke of Reinhardt was a great threat to the Imperial family. The knights under him had been the royal family’s armed forces for decades. He even owned half of the candidates of the Swordmasters. If Ian had a bad heart, he wouldn’t have been able to predict the winner.
