The day they faced the sudden attack with several kinds of beasts appearing at once on the sacred grounds of the four nobles, Cael quickly ordered one of his men to return to the camp and start an investigation.
By the time they finished clearing the beast corpses, Theron of the Imperial Army had already taken charge and begun looking into every detail.
Two days later, after Cael had a light conversation with Soren that he found unexpectedly amusing, a pigeon arrived at his window that night saying that the culprit had already been caught.
The dungeon was cold and quiet except for the sound of weak crawling on the stone floor. The moment Cael stepped inside, the knights around him stiffened.
He still hadn't slept, and the anger in his eyes made everyone avoid his gaze.
The captured knight was no longer chained as he had already been beaten and slashed by him, now lay on the ground, crawling helplessly while trying to push himself away even though he had nowhere to go.
