176: Protecting his Person

Protecting his Person

"Get them out of the room," the moment Duke Lucas said this, two other men appeared from out of nowhere and quickly escorted the now deranged Countess and her soldiers outside.2

"You have no right to do this! You are not from this kingdom! You— You let me go! Duke Lucas, I am warning you! Do not disrespect me—"

*BANG*

The door closed before the Countess could finish her words.

Rosalind stared at Lucas, speechless at his actions. He might be a Duke, but he was not a Duke of this Kingdom! Why was he acting so brazen?

"You have about ten minutes," the Duke said. "It seems that they want to get rid of the Count."

Rosalind stared at the now-dying man. Perhaps he knew something important that the others wanted to hide. That would explain why they wanted to kill him at all costs.
