Chapter 21 - Truth and Destruction

I wasn't myself after what happened.

I investigated his death like a madwoman. Nothing sat right with me. Not a single detail made sense.

I also looked into the cases where he was found guilty. They accused him of murdering five low-rankers and two civilians, of illegally smuggling dungeon resources, of extortion, and more. But the more I dug, the more suspicious everything became.

Witnesses appeared out of nowhere, and so did the so-called evidence.

They emerged conveniently right after his death was announced.

How?

How could they suddenly exist when he could no longer defend himself?

I stopped working. Stopped eating. Stopped caring.

The only thing keeping me alive was the hope that I could uncover the truth.

That something would justify the fire burning in my chest.

That I could still do something for him.

I was supposed to die that day anyway, if it weren't for him.

So I dedicated myself to him.

To not turning my back.

To not letting the world bury him again.
