Ines closed her eyes, deep in thought.
Is Brother's intention to dismantle the Northern Society truly to hold someone accountable for the king's death?
If Leon hadn't stopped the palace chaos that night... in the entire royal family, perhaps now only...
Ines opened her eyes, the look in them growing increasingly cold.
She had no evidence to prove her suspicions, but in fact, she wasn't a judge and didn't need evidence.
Only a few unresolved doubts and contradictions lingered in Ines' mind.
...What exactly did Brother experience in the Eastern Border? What is his true aim?
He is the legitimate first in line to the throne, with no reason to collude with the Athiasians to murder the king and Rickto, nor to kill Trosa.
General Trosa was a staunch supporter of the royal family, a trusted aide who could stabilize the court and power once he ascended the throne.
Such insane and foolish elimination of forces loyal to oneself is truly inexplicable.
Unless.
