"Thud... thud..."

A round head rolled to the ground.

The gushing blood painted the marble floor in a striking palette.

The whole room fell silent.

No one had expected that a simple ennoblement ceremony would turn out like this.

The command of Duke St. Hilde was abrupt.

And so was Colin's execution of it.

In fact, Colin had anticipated the Duke's command.

Because, the name of Ice Rock City was distinctly included in the newly granted fiefdom of the Angler family!

Since the Duke was already granting Sudor family's territory to the Angler family, Colin was unsurprised that the Duke chose this moment to settle accounts with Cain.

However, for others present, it seemed as if the Duke and Colin had conspired together.

It was a sudden blow to Cain.

Even when Cain's head fell to the ground, the confusion in his eyes hadn't had time to turn into fear.

"No!"

A heartbreaking cry shattered the silence.
