"Duke!"
Knight Muffat, who had finally managed to enter the hall, looked at the scene before him and let out a cry of despair.
Nevertheless, Muffat took a deep breath, assumed a fighting stance, and prepared to give it his all, ready to honour the vow he had made, even though he knew he was no match for Lucien.
Surprisingly, Lucien ignored Muffat completely. He hoisted the corpse of Duke St. Prowse on his shoulders and charged straight out.
Knight Muffat was left stunned, unsure whether to feel relieved or enraged.
Just as he was about to pursue him, he heard a faint groan.
"Marquis Vincent!" Knight Muffat hurried over, and looked anxiously at Marquis Vincent, who was lying on the floor, "You're still alive!"
Marquis Vincent was struggling to speak, his mouth frothing with blood.
"Don't...don't let...the Howell Family...get away..."
Knight Muffat assumed that Marquis Vincent had woken up due to the afterwave of the fight, and was unaware of Duke St. Prowse's assassination.
