Chapter 103@@novelbin@@

Ryan’s soldiers returned empty-handed. As he listened to their reports, his face twisted into a frown.

“That’s impossible…”

To make matters worse, the public sentiment was deteriorating rapidly. Although he had tried to suppress the rumors, not everyone was willing to obey his orders.

‘These magicians have never been of any use to me,’ he thought bitterly. They were nothing but a thorn in his side.

‘But…’ he mused, narrowing his eyes. Perhaps the soldiers hadn’t found anything because the magicians had already disappeared.

Ryan pondered this, his expression darkening. ‘I’ll need to send out the magicians as well.’

He had to ensure this task was completed perfectly.

Darcy had suddenly vanished without a trace. Kyes had been furious, convinced that Darcy was up to something once again, but despite his rage, he hadn’t been able to find him.

It was rare for Darcy to leave the palace, and this presented an opportunity for both Kyes and Ryan.

‘Even Kyes couldn’t withstand the pressure and left.’

With Kyes, who had become one of Darcy’s closest confidants, also gone, the timing was perfect.

Kyes had gathered all the magic stones stored in the imperial warehouse and ordered the production of more weapons. He had even begun secretly training soldiers with the magical devices.

As much as Ryan hated to admit it, the power of the magical devices Darcy had invented was immense.

‘Once this festival is over, I’ll make sure you’re eliminated,’ Ryan thought, his eyes burning with fury. He had been suppressing his anger with reason, but he was nearing his limit.

The reason he was waiting until after the festival was that he planned to bring down the Etwar family. By seizing the Etwar family’s mines, he could maintain the royal family’s good image while cutting off Darcy’s resources.
