"Your grace. The captives were freed. We're now giving them a change of clothes and food. We'll find out where they came from after they rest," Coton informed the duke after defeating the pirates behind the kidnapping reports they received.

The duke would love to learn more about it, but Noah was dead when they arrived. He didn't know why the latter killed himself in front of Calista, but one thing was certain; the lady was traumatized.
Calista remained in a daze after they rescued her. She wouldn't say a word and was just staring at nothing in particular.
