83 Dragged to the scaffold

Music Recommendation: The inexorable advance - Max Ritcher

—

When Dante and Aiden arrived at the port where the ships were docked, the first prince ordered the guards who had accompanied them, 

"Check the village. Search every house, inn, and shop. Leave no stone unturned." 

"Yes, Prince Dante!" The guards received the orders before promptly departing, while Dante and Aiden dismounted from their horses. 

"I thought Anna was the only one who wanted to run. Who knew she would find an accomplice? Who could the male servant be?" Prince Aiden pondered out loud, while Dante already knew who it was. 

Was that why the atmosphere around her and the gardener seemed to have changed? Dante questioned himself as he walked towards the wooden plank that led to the opening port of the ship.
