A loud cry pierced the duke's mansion, and everyone quickly ran toward the room where they heard the voice coming from.
The soldiers stood before the door, but no one dared to enter the room.
They all knew this was the sacrificial room where the demon kind was held, and rumors said you would be cursed if you entered it.
So, no one wanted to be the first to enter. As soon as he entered, Rachael felt herself pulled back into Ardella's body.
Relief filled everyone when Duke GoodWill was the first to arrive at the scene.
He did not look at anyone and entered the room. Silence followed again, and everyone waited for the duke to head out.
But all Duke Goodwill accomplished was to stop that crying voice.
"W-What happened? W-Why did the crying stop? Do you think the duke-?"
The guards asked the question, not noticing that Duchess Lepasta had arrived.
