Chapter: 450

‘Was he trying to bring the child too?’

Fritz seemed to have planned on taking the child to protect him.

‘Seeing you get angry, you must have been one step late.’

The duke pretended not to know and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Although he expected it, he was angrier when his father blatantly denied it.

“I know you’re behind it all.”

As he leaned leisurely on the back of the chair, the Duke asked,

“Do you have any evidence?”

“My grandfather said he saw your men.”

Astelle asked Fritz to protect Theor and the Marquis.

After that, Fritz immediately sent his men to the East.

He ordered his men to find Theor and the Marquis, escort them home, and report to him once they got home safely.

However, it seemed that his men were one step behind the Duke’s.

By the time they found the inn, Theor had been kidnapped.

His maternal grandfather was found lying in the inn room after being attacked and injured.

Fortunately, his maternal grandfather was not seriously injured.

After his maternal grandfather confirmed that they were Fritz’s men, he told them who had attacked him.

Although their faces were covered in masks, they were clearly the Duke’s men.

“He must have seen it wrong.”

The duke denied his son’s words with a smile.

“Your maternal grandfather hasn’t been here for a long time, so how could he recognize my people?”

“After my subordinates investigated, they said that there are your people near the inn.”

“My people are free to go anywhere. Just because they were near the inn, can that be used as evidence?”

“Father, I didn’t come here to play pun,” said Fritz, holding back his anger.

He continued, “My grandfather was injured and Theor was missing. Where did you hide him?”
