Shane watched as the king agreed after being blackmailed for the fifth time today. Huh. The old man gave up so easily. He didn't think this could happen.
Hope, who was watching everything, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good boy. Now, I'll go off. If I find you aren't taking care of this well, I'll end your life here and tell everyone about all the dark things you have ever done."
"Who said I have black materials on me?! Don't speak nonsense!" The king's face turned red in anger as he glared at her.
Hope ignored the man and flashed out of the palace. Then she headed toward the court area, where officials were working their a**es off.
The corners of her lips curled up to form a pleasant smile. "It's time to see the dear officials."
Shane sighed. He didn't want to participate in this ordeal at all. He just wanted a peaceful life in the end. But now, the situation was such that he didn't even know whether he would continue to live after solving this case.
