Chapter: 744
The Minister of Home Affairs, Viscount Bürgen read and reread the short letter several times.
Marquis Croychen’s letter contained a simple message.
There is a traitor in his family.
The information was leaked, so he had to get rid of the evidence right now.
‘A traitor?’
Who is that?
There is no detailed information about who the traitor is.
It seems to have been written very quickly.
Obviously, the handwriting of the Marquis is slightly unstable.
‘How can this happen……’
He knew that the Imperial Palace was investigating this matter by order of His Majesty the Emperor.
Through Vellian, he was fully informed about the investigation process there.
Nothing special has been revealed yet.
All the evidence has already been destroyed.
Even if anything goes wrong, he was also prepared to throw it over the Duke.
Not only Vellian, but also the guard knights will be willing to help.
All of them were newly appointed knights when the Emperor ascended to the throne, so most of them are on the nobles’ side.
That fact relieved him, but why did this suddenly happen……
‘How did Marquis Croychen manage his house?’
It must have been difficult because he lost almost all of his estates, but shouldn’t he have to manage the people around him more thoroughly at a time like this?
The Viscount was outraged at the foolish behavior of the Marquis Croychen.
He thought he was a prudent man, but now it turns out he was a fool.
Well, he’s a man who can’t control his wife.
He felt like he wanted to go see him in person and discuss what had happened.
However, it was too risky to go to the castle where the Marquis was hiding under such circumstances.
