Chapter 171 - Chapter 171

first responders came to the aid of the District where the warehouse was burning, mant water mage used their ability to ensure that the fire won't spread among the rest of the warehouses, a few examiners from Avarel came and conducted their investigation and found that the Hellmane household was able to assist the evacuation of the hostages that were abducted by an unknown group and tied them and let them roam inside the three storey storehouse,

The examiners were impressed by the Hellmane family's quick thinking and resourcefulness in such a dangerous situation. They praised their bravery and dedication to the safety of others. The Hellmanes were also commended for their well-organized and efficient evacuation plan, which allowed them to successfully rescue all of the hostages without any casualties.

The examiners concluded that the Hellmane family had demonstrated exceptional leadership skills and a strong sense of community spirit. They recommended that the family be recognized for their heroic actions and be given an award for their bravery. The Hellmanes were grateful for the recognition and thanked the examiners for their kind words. They hoped that their actions would inspire others to be more vigilant and proactive in protecting their communities from harm.

while this was happening Irles Filri was taking her time in inflicting pain toward Merchant Eirana Fanuilos as she scream in agony, Fear became a tangible, a frightening living force that crept over Eirana Fanuilos skin like some hungry beast, immobilizing her brain, holding her captive,

Terror washed over her, raising the fine hairs on the back of her neck as the pain travel into her nerve she screech and spit out blood as she bite her tongue to secure any information from being mentioned, but it was a useless Echo was the creator of this room, based on the knowledge she gains from her master, and was able to recreate a place where she can use and share to others, Echo greeted the future Sinistral Queen and requested that let her be the one to extract the information she wish to gain,

" my liege, you don't need to sully your hands with this type of person, let me take responsibility, I assure you she will openly give the answers you seek,"

" Thank you Echo, I shall head back to Avarel and again thank you for letting me use your room."

"I am delighted that you find my humble gesture to be useful, now please lord Vandom Ragnar and Lady Roshia Lierin are waiting for your return."

" Echo, please make it as pleasurable as you could, let her sing as loud as she can!"

"yes of course my queen, it would would bring me such happiness to hear her sing!"

Irles Filri returned to the event and saw that even if she had been gone for nearly an hour, the festivities were still ongoing and many of the influential people were still socializing with the council. Taenya Leonan saw Irles Filri come back In spite of this, her clothing was stained with blood, Taenya gave out a sigh and immediately grabbed her hand and requested a follower, as she expressed her deepest dismay seeing her in that attire.

Taenya knew that something terrible must have happened to their seventh council head. She gently led Irles to a nearby room and made her wait as she opened a cabinet filled with formal dresses to replace the one she was wearing.

After a few minutes, she went out again as if nothing had happened and even saw her mother waiting for her. As she accompanied her daughter, her mother whispered and mentioned that her father and the rest of the Reckless Brigade had cleaned everything and assured her that this matter would be handled discretely.

Despite the reassurance, the incident weighed heavily on her mind as she went about her day. She couldn't shake off the feeling of unease and guilt, knowing that she had been a part of something that could potentially harm others. As she sat at one of the dining tables, her thoughts wandered to the events of that night, and she found it hard to concentrate on anything else, but she tried her best to be composed as my eligible men continued to pursue her to gain attention. She would smile and exchange small conversations with them, never act indifferently as she was accommodating, and respectfully decline all of their advances to court her.

at the same time, the night was still young and the warehouse building that exploded was finally put out of fire, as the investigators saw sixty dead bodies that were burned beyond recognition and the body parts of a female were seen on the basement floor.

The investigators immediately began their search for any clues that could lead them to the cause of the explosion. They combed through the rubble, carefully sifting through debris and analyzing every inch of the scene. As they worked, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and horror at the tragedy that had unfolded before them. The victims, who might be innocent bystanders or, at worst, hostages, had been caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The investigators knew that they had a duty to find out what had happened and bring those responsible to justice. They interviewed witnesses and gathered evidence, piecing together a timeline of events leading up to the explosion. It was clear that this was no accident - someone had intentionally caused this devastation. As dawn broke, the investigators were still hard at work, determined to uncover the truth behind this heinous act and bring closure to the families of those who had lost their lives in this senseless tragedy.

As a woman approached the investigators and introduced herself as Captain Aelinor Mithrandi of the judicial court from the Royal Capital of Sheol, daughter of Count Galhad Mithrandir, her sudden appearance gave the examiners a perplexed look on their faces as she came at the right moment to take over the investigation with authority and power over the situation. Her long, flowing robes and regal demeanour commanded respect from all those present in the area.

The examiners quickly gathered their notes and stepped aside to allow her to take charge. With a sharp eye for detail and a quick mind, she began to sift through the evidence with ease, piecing together the clues that had eluded her predecessors. Her knowledge of the law was unparalleled, and she was able to spot inconsistencies in the testimony of witnesses that others had missed.

She worked and acted like she was there to seek true justice, but in reality, she actually saw everything and just came out to close the investigation and make it look like an accident, as she confirmed that the severed feet and right hand came from Eirana Fanuilos.

The confirmation scheme and plan that Eirana Fanuilos made were a total waste, but the issue was not her failure but the huge power gap of their members toward those who were reported to be connected with Arcane, and there were no witnesses to incriminate Irles Filri Hellmane at this crime scene.

after a few hours, Captain Aelinor Mithrandi already gave out an independent and secret report that body parts recovered at the crime scene belonged to Eirana Fanuilos, and members of the Fanuilos crime syndicate were frustrated with their inability to bring justice to those who were involved with Arcane. Despite their efforts, they could not gather enough evidence to incriminate Irles Filri Hellmane for the crime that had taken place. This was a clear indication of the big difference between the two groups.

and it left the members of Fanuilos feeling helpless and defeated. They knew that they needed to find a way to level the playing field if they were ever going to be able to bring justice to those who had been wronged. It was clear that they needed to come up with a new strategy, one that would allow them to gather the evidence they needed and put an end to the power imbalance once and for all.

not knowing they were being redirected by Aelinor Mithrandi, taunting the entire Fanuilos clan to act on their own accord and gain revenge by their own hands, if Eirana Fanuilos was known to be a cruel vixen, Aelinor Mithrandi blatantly couldn't care less what happened to her, thinking might as well used her failure to her advantage and drag everybody down who was rumoured connected to Arcane,

the sun was rising and the event finally ended most of the guests already left and the remaining few were members of the six council leaders' families and staff, reports of the event that befell one of the warehouses came to their attention but because of the efforts of lord Vandom Ragnar Hellmane who saw the fire as he was getting some fresh air out in the courtyard, certain information was able to elude the investigator's eyes, as Lord Vandom quickly alerted the authorities and directed them to the exact location of the fire.

Thanks to his quick thinking, the fire was contained before it could spread to other parts of the warehouse. The investigators were able to gather evidence that led them to a group of arsonists who had been targeting warehouses in the area. The group eventually died inside the building as they accidentally got trapped inside, with this finding justice was served, thanks in no small part to Lord Vandom's efforts. His bravery and presence of mind in a crisis situation saved countless lives and prevented significant damage to property. The community owes him a debt of gratitude for his selfless actions that day.

as take this opportunity to finally relax and go back to their daily lives the Hellmane family drastically change within a few months, all of the qualifications to be acknowledged as a noble were already there, to begin with the only that was missing was legal documentation other nobles recognizing their accomplishments, but after this, even their lineage was finally cemented, now the issue of increasing their family, a stagecoach came to the Avarel Head Mansion and announce that it came to transport the noble Helmane family at their new home, Daran was the stage Couch guard while his twin sister Saran was family head steward, and the Arkan Sonney was still their driver, as Ramiel patiently waited for them inside the stagecoach, Irles Filri was so excited to see him as he hug him inside while, Roshia Lierin greeted Ramiel with a smile,

"shall we visit your new home!"
