Chapter 272: With the Victim

Antis smiled casually after he heard what Roland said. "If the royal family intended to punish you, they wouldn't 'invite' you."

Evelyn looked at Roland hopefully.

Actually, she did not trust Antis. She found Roland, who just saved her, more reliable and wanted him to escort her to the royal palace.

If a seneschal who had always been by her side had betrayed her, how trustworthy could a remote relative like Antis be?

Although it was unlikely that she'd be attacked again, Evelyn exemplified the saying, "Once bitten, twice shy."

Roland thought for a moment and nodded.

Then, Antis took them to the royal palace with the city guards.

On the way to the royal palace, Roland saw multiple men in black robes on the top of the tallest building far away.

Morahu was obviously among them.

Though they were far away, Roland could sense that they were glaring at him and their eyes were like sharp daggers, cutting him into pieces.
