"What?"
The guard falls to the ground, trembling. "F-forgive me, my king!" He wailed.
"What do you mean the guard committed suicide?" Thorne snarled angrily. He was seriously losing his patience now. Somehow every lead was leading to a dead end. How?
Caelum stepped forward, "They say it was during Elara's time as regent, my king."
Thorne's eyes narrowed at this. "You're telling me Elara covered this up?" He asked.
Caelum sighed, looking away. "My king…" he gestured at the guard still bowing and shaking in his boots.
Thorne waved a dismissive hand at him, and Caelum kicked the guard lightly, motioning for him to leave.
"T-thank you, my king," the guard stammered before rushing out of the office. Once the intruder was gone, Thorne exhaled, running his fingers through his hair.
"Elara was also the same person who asked that news of Radek from that night not be reported to you. She said she'd handle it."
