Although how much of the shock was genuine or pretense was uncertain.
"Prince Lexie, perhaps you would care to examine this for yourself," Queen Midela said suddenly, her face serious as she spoke to Prince Lexie.
Prince Lexie, who had been silent up until this point, looked somewhat puzzled as if he realized that this matter had something to do with him. However, he moved forward to the coffin as suggested.
Upon inspection, his expression changed as well.
After a moments' silence, The prince furrowed his brow, and voiced:
"Correct, this is indeed the mark of my sword."
There was an audible gasp.
Everyone present gaped in shock at Prince Lexie.
Colin was also stunned. Why was the Holy Knight so… frank?
Was he fearless?
Or did he deem it beneath him to lie?
However, he was also puzzled. The corpse of Governor Lattom bore no physical damage, Colin was sure Pope Gregory would not have missed such a detail. How could there be a sword mark on the heart?
