131 The Chase

Cordelia was confused. The more she looked and listened in, the more she speculated that she knew the man facing in her direction. Not to mention he carried a royal emblem with him.

She only knew one person who owned a royal emblem at the moment, but she hardly believed King Aleksander would let anyone else aside from Henry use it now that he was in power.

Then who could this man be? And why does he have a royal emblem with him?

'Maybe he is someone trusted by the previous king and queen,' Cordelia suspected. 'Perhaps a trusted adviser?'

"Thank you," the masked man spoke. "My master will appreciate your help."

His voice was muffled by the mask, but there was a distinct characteristic to his voice that was vaguely familiar to Cordelia.

Who was it? Was it someone she knew from the palace?

If so, she must tail this person too.

'What is in his hand?' she wondered.
