His statement angered many people in the crowd, but there was quick silence when the Inquisitor pointed out that those who died were all b

Julie and William returned to the camp, celebrating with the team. For a moment, William forgot his worries and felt he belonged with Julie. Her simple smile burned away the anxiety that had haunted him for three years. As William went to bed that night, he hoped that things would improve, hoping this feeling wouldn't disappear.At daybreak, the research team was awoken by the assembly of knights. Their commanding officer shouted at the top of his lungs, searching for three missing knights. Though they had been allowed to celebrate with the researchers, they were not excused from abandoning their posts.Shamus, a knight of Greymound assigned to a post at the far end of the sewer by the seawall, had gone missing. Two other knights stationed with him were also gone. The commander ordered his men to sweep the remaining structures around the Keep, suspecting they had gotten drunk and fallen asleep on the job.After the assembly, William turned to the research team and thanked them for the

After the Court session, William met with the Princess and asked how the case was progressing. She told him that despite her sleepless nights, she and her assistants were working nonstop to investigate and filter the reports they had received from citizens regarding suspected Pentalium members. One by one, families across the Kingdom were being cross-checked against the Inquisition's findings. Soon, they would have a comprehensive list of those who had betrayed the Kingdom.The Princess also congratulated William on his hard work in developing Tarwood. She had heard of its rapid growth but apologized for being too busy to visit. As she spoke, her eyes fell on the young woman standing beside William, staring in shock. Julie quickly bowed before the Princess, bewildered by how casually William spoke to royalty.The Princess chuckled at Julie's reaction. "No need for such formalities. But tell me, how did you and William meet?"Julie enthusiastically recounted their encounter, but before

The enamored Julie is obsessed with the drawing. She eagerly told William that the Zonians had left murals throughout their underground structures. Recently, a new underground tunnel had been discovered beneath Margaret's Keep, but the central piece of the mural was missing. She believed the drawing he had fit perfectly in that gap.William replied that the stone slab had snapped into place when he set it into the mural back in the Silverhand's mine, but he had seen nothing significant. The slab seemed out of place, as if it wasn't meant to be there. Instead, it felt more like a warning, like a falling star approaching.This revelation blew away Julie. "You were able to interact with the mural?" She paused, eyes narrowing with curiosity. "Wait, the knights took over the Silverhand estate after Abigail's arrest. That means—" She leaned in. "You broke in, or you're a knight on a secret mission!"William raised an eyebrow at her assumption. "Or I was just there before the knights took ov
