Thales was stunned for a good ten seconds.
'Shadow Shield…'
He heard Gilbert give an account on this before.
It appeared in the tragedy of the Bloody Year with the Charleton Family as the direct murderers of the Jadestar Family.
He recalled the memory of a stone urn in the Jadestar Family tomb at Renaissance Palace. From the eldest Prince Midier, to Horace, down to the twin princes, Bancroft and Herman, and the youngest, Princesss Constance Jadestar.
Thales stared at Poffret in disbelief. 'But the Shadow Shield... murdering me? How could it—'
"That's enough."
His thoughts were interrupted; King Nuven's voice rang throughout the hall.
The king threw Poffret on the ground with a sullen face. "As long as I am in Dragon Clouds City, I will not allow something as despicable as an assassination to happen again."
"Hmph," Poffret sneered, and through gritted teeth he said, "tyrant."
