Once Karium commanded the guards to dispose the bodies of the assassins, he turned his horse around to return to the Magistrate's office. Lance will stay behind to see that everything was taken care of.
However, before the Prince could even start riding, he saw a familiar face standing a few steps away. When Karium Maselli identified the person, he raised a brow.
Karium gave a quick thought and finally started riding his horse.
"Isabel," he called out when his horse was right before his old friend but...
The woman took a step back. The expression on her face...
Was she scared of him?!
It just occurred to Karium that Isabel saw everything!
Did she think that he will kill her too because she witnessed what he did?
"Isabel, you don't have to be afraid," he said though he wasn't sure if it would work. "I won't harm you."
"Why did you do that, Your Highness?" Isabella Elies asked with fear still evident in her voice.
