285 Merciful King?

With his super hearing and state always alert, Lucien is aware of the messenger of the guard's captain going to warn Emmanuel's wife about his arrival.

Then Lucien starts walking towards the castle, followed by his group while asking the spy for information. "What do you know about Emmanuel's wife?"

The spy quickly responds. "Her name is Raquel. She is the daughter of the former lord of Raco, and her family has always been influential on this island."

"Do you think she knows about Emmanuel's black market?" Lucien asks.

Before the spy responds, Cassidy, next to Lucien, speaks. "I think it's improbable. I met Raquel a long time ago, and she seemed like a good woman to me. I also liked her father, and when he died, Raquel said that she would marry Emmanuel because he was a good man. I think she didn't really know her husband."
