00:00He then looked at the stern-faced Garak beside me, his hatred intensifying.
00:03And you, Garak, why do you get to pick up my title and marry Saland?
00:06You are nothing but a brute who only knows how to swing a sword out in the frozen wests.
00:10By what right do you trample over me?
00:12You just wait!
00:13Even if I die, I will absolutely not let you off!
00:15Finally, he looked at the Margay and his lady, uttering a shyle, tragic curse.
00:19And you too!
00:19If I ever have the chance in the future, I will make House Thorn and pay the price,
00:22for I Lucia swear to Gazamegas not ever!
00:24You had better send me to the guillotine right now for live for a single day.
00:26I was long make Celestia, Garak, and the entire Marcus Castle pay in blood!
00:30This deranged, roaring Tillade left every lord present deeply shaken.
00:33The knights hesitated no longer.
00:34They stepped forward, pinning the struggling Lucia down tightly.
00:37Lucia fought madly all the way, his curses and resentful cries ringing endlessly,
00:40until he was dragged out of the court.
00:41Only then did his voice gradually fade, yet it still carried a bone-piercing chill.
00:46Meera was also escorted away.
00:48Her face was asin, having long lost the strength to struggle.
00:50Like a walking corpse, she was dragged away by the knights.
00:53The storm momentarily subsided.
00:55The Chancellor's leg lady, already crying like a bade Myrna, thanked me repeatedly.
00:59Thank you, my lady.
01:00Thank you for seeking justice for my daughter.
01:02Had it not been for you, we would still be kept in the dark.
01:05My poor Elevin, suffering two years of inhuman torture.
01:10I gently consoled her.
01:12My lady, you need be so formal.
01:15The gods above will punish the wicked in the end.
01:17This is the fate they deserve.
01:19Says the truth is revealed, I will meadly pretit his majesty to depatch paladins to the southern borders
01:23to bring through the Trenblood daughter.
01:25Chancellor Osric nodded continually, saying with gratitude.
01:28Thank you, my lady.
01:29I will immediately arrange for mages to accompany them,
01:33heading to the hidden abbey in the southern borders together,
01:35to bring Ellermann back to the royal capital.
01:39The Marguard looked at the mess on the ground, his heart filled with exhaustion.
01:43He spoke to Garrick in a heavy voice.
01:44This affair shall be referred to the royal trudinal for a rigorous legal trial to uphold justice.
01:49As head of the house, you must speak and act prudently to stabilize the domain.
01:52Yes, father.
01:53I gazed in the direction Lucio was dragged away, a trace of coldness flashing in my eyes.
01:57I didn't take his vicious words to heart.
01:59Yet I also knew deeply that a man as deranged and revengeful as Lucio
02:02would absolutely not let things go so easily.
02:04A far greater storm was likely only just beginning.
02:06The dungeons of the royal tribunal were dark and damp.
02:09Lucian was locked in methian shackles.
02:10The former Lord Hare, draped in silks and fine jewels, noble and ostentatious,
02:14now wore tattered rags.
02:15His face covered bloodshot, burning with inusquist resentment and madsery.
02:19Celestid Garrick, you just wait.
02:23Three days later, the royal tribunal announced the trial's verdict
02:25for the crimes of privately imprisoning a true-blood daughter of the kingdom,
02:28impersonating a consecrated widow to frame the church, and defying royal authority.
02:31Lucian was stripped of all noble protections in the primary judgment,
02:34exiled to the Frostmarches, and forbidden from returning to the royal capital for eternity.
02:38Meera was convicted of the same crimes.
02:39The moment the verdict fell, Lucian froze in place.
02:42There was no relief in his eyes, only monstrous indignation and malice.
02:45Exiled to the Frostmarches, how is this any different from death?
02:48He was once the Marjork's heir to end up in such a state,
02:50and worse, to be trampled underfoot by Garrick and Celestia.
02:53He was absolutely unresigned to this.
02:54Before being escorted to the place of exile,
02:56Lucian was temporarily held in the fortress dungeons outside the royal capital.
02:59In the dark and damp cell, he curled up in his digging fiercely into the stone wall,
03:03his eyes full of crazed hatred.
03:04He could not just leave like this.
03:05He wanted revenge.
03:06He was certain he would not let it end like this.
03:10He wanted to ruin Celestine's reputation and make her life worse than death.
03:13He wanted Garrick to lose everything and be beheaded.
03:15He wanted his biased parents to live in lifelong regret,
03:17and for the entire house Thornfield to pay the most agonizing price for what they did to him.
03:20Lucian slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down and sorting through the remaining contacts and leverage in his
03:25mind.
03:25Having held power for two years, he had secretly won over quite a few old retainans in the tarry,
03:29and had also made the acquaintance of some dark guild factions and fallen mages on the fringes of officialies.
03:33Most of these people had received to him by interests.
03:35Though he had lost power now, as long as he had enough gold and promises, they might not be entirely
03:39useless to him.
03:40Furthermore, he knew quite a few secrets about Garrick's northern army,
03:43and was well aware of the defenses around the family's treasury.
03:45These were all weapons for his...
03:46Using the opportunity to secretly contact his old subordinates, Lucian quietly sent messages via Raven.
03:50Every word was vicious, orchestrating a meticulous revenge plot.
03:54He wanted to destroy Garrick's military merits, ruin Salensta's reputation, and plunge the royal capital into chaos.
04:00Even if it meant mutual destruction, he would never give up.
04:03Lucian's first step was to employ his old trick again, using rumors as a sharp blade.
04:07He took out gemstones he had hidden away in earlier years to hire street thugs, destitute bards, and scribes,
04:12along with several disgruntled tax officials, to begin spreading a new wave of vicious rumors.
04:16This time, the targets were pointed directly at Garrick and Celeste.
04:20In just a few days, the rumors spread like poisonous vines through the streets and alleys of the royal capital.
04:24Have you heard? Warden General's Garrus Miller excites are all fake.
04:27The great victory against the magical beasts back then was entirely due to the desperate fighting of his knights,
04:31but in truth, he is as cowardly as a mouse.
04:32It doesn't stop there. The newly succeeding Lady Celestine is no saint either.
04:36To seize control of the castle, she stopped at nothing to frame Lucian.
04:38She is a ruthless witch, corrupted by dark magic.
04:41The two collude, deceiving the king into seizing the Margonks castle.
04:43Garrick married Celestine only for the power of the Valamont Ducre estate.
04:46The two are thick as thieves. They will come to no good end.
04:49The rumors were even more vicious than before.
04:51Not only slanding character, but even daring to defache military gourds and frame us for treason.
04:57Many ignorant commoners believed it to be true, pointing fingers at Garrick and Mai.
05:02Even within the High Council, several lower lords bought off by Lucian took the opportunity to speak up,
05:06subtly impeaching Garrick for false merits and me for improper conduct.
05:09Inside the Markyer's castle, the atmosphere was heavy.
05:12The Markyer's lady looked at the rumors reported by the head maid, fraught with worry.
05:17These rumors are far too malicious.
05:19If they reach His Majesty the King's ears, I fear it will cause trouble.
05:23Garrick's face was stern, his fingers grepping his sword hilt tightly, eyes filled with wrath.
05:28He is must willing to accept exile, and wishes to stir up chaos with rumors to seize a chance for
05:33revenge.
05:35I sat upright to the side, my expression calm, having long anticipated that Lucian would not give up so easily.
05:42Paranoid and deranged, he couldn't accept the outcome of exile, and was bound to take desperate measures.
05:47His methods, the same tired tricks as ever.
05:49Though the rumors are fierce, they lack evidence and will collapse at the first blow.
05:53My dear, you may dispatch knights to secretly track the source of these rumors.
05:56Capture those spreading them one by one.
05:58Follow the vine to get the melon.
05:59Root out Lucian's contacts.
06:00And obtain magical projection evidence.
06:02Garrick nodded.
06:03I have already sent spies to work on this.
06:06Within three days, we will certainly uncover the source.
06:09Sure enough, two days later, Garrick's men captured dozens of barbs and scribes spreading the rumors.
06:14Under the truth exeter, they all confessed that Lucian's old followers had provided the gold coins and orders.
06:19They even confiscated paper and smeat letters written by Lucian's own hand-hand.
06:22The handwriting was clear, the evidence undeniable.
06:26Garrick presented the dosses and evidence to His Majesty the King.
06:29The King was infuriated to thoroughly investigate the involved officials, stripping them of all titles for prosecution.
06:33The rumors collapsed on their own, and the citizens of the royal capital saw the truth.
06:37And then it was rather than being damaged.
06:39Garrick's and my reputations gained even more public support.
06:42Upon learning of the rumor slot's failure, Lucian was not disheartened, but became even more deranged.
06:47He knew that since soft tactics had failed, he had to use hard force.
06:51Lucian's second step was to hire assassins for an interception and assassination.
06:55He contacted the underground assassin organization he had befriended in his early years, the Nightblade Guild.
07:00Using his entire fortune as the price and promising heavy additional gold upon success,
07:05he sought only to intercept and kill Garrick and Celestace during during his exile journey.
07:10He calculated perfectly that the exile convoy would leave the royal capital in three days,
07:14and that Garrick would definitely escort him personally.
07:17First to uphold the law, and second to guard against any tricks.
07:20And I would very likely accompany him to send him off, making this the perfect opportunity for assassination.
07:26Upon receiving the heavy gold, the Nightlight Guild rapidly assembled dozens of elite assassins
07:31and ambushed them at Shadow Gorge, a necessary passage out of the city.
07:34The terrain here was treacherous with steep cliffs on both sides and a narrow valley floor.
07:38Easy to defend, and hard to attack.
07:40An excellent location for an ambush.
07:42Three days later, the exile convoy set out as scheduled.
07:45Clad in chainmail, Garrick led the vanguard knights of the north to escort Lucian.
07:48I rode in an armored carriage alongside them, heavily guarded from front to back.
07:52As we reached Shadow Gorge, the surroundings fell abruptly silent, and an era of slaughter filled the air.
07:57Careful! It's an ambush!
07:58Garrick shouted fiercely.
08:00The knights instantly drew their two-handed swords, guarding the perimeter of the carriage.
08:04Before his voice had faded, dozens of assassins clawed in black leather armor leaped down from the cliffs on either
08:09side,
08:10wielding poison-quenched blades and exuding murderous intent.
08:13They surged down upon the exile convoy with killing in pate.
08:16Their target was clear, aimed straight at Garrick and me.
08:18The assassins let out a strill howar.
08:20Their moves were ruthless, every strike lethal, all fighting with a suicidal disregard for their own lives.
