Early the next morning, the innkeeper arrived at Charles's door accompanied by two Serpentian guards.
The two Serpentian guards pounded heavily on Charles's room door, yet Charles did not immediately open it. Instead, he waited for a moment.
"Listen up, people inside. We know you're still in there, so you better open the door right now. If you don't open the door, we will force our way in."
One of the Serpentian guards shouted directly towards the door.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming to open the door." Charles replied to the Serpentian guard's shouting while slowly making his way to the door.
As soon as Charles opened the door, the innkeeper took a step back, hiding behind the Serpentian guards.
"It's him, he's the one who killed the guest in my inn." the innkeeper said anxiously, pointing at Charles while whispering in the Serpentian guard's ear.
