News arrived from Nerovia-the imposter posing as Nicholas had been uncovered. It turned out he was just a
cominon man, someone who bore a striking resemblance to Nicholas. After being noticed by Nicholas, he had
been taken in and trained to mimic his every move.
After Nicholas left Nerovia, this man had assumed his identity, visiting the places Nicholas was known to
frequent. This explained why earlier investigations had suggested that Nicholas rarely left his fief. In reality, he
had long since disguised himself and moved about freely.
“Has the man been secured?” Carissa asked quickly.
“Don’t worry, he’s been taken care of,” Jacob replied.
Carissa let out a small sigh of relief. “Good. Prince Nicholas cannot appear in Nerovia again. I've cto
understand his intentions. He's been hiding under the guise of Gordon, sending orders from Willowbrook Estate.
Everyone would believe that the so-called rebel leader is Prince Hayden. Meanwhile, Prince Nicholas would have
been known to be in Nerovia this whole time, never once involved in the rebellion.”
Jacob nodded. “Yes. If the rebellion fails, it won't concern him. He can even claim righteousness by killing Prince
Hayden. If the rebellion succeeds, all of it would have been his to claim.”
“Then what of Mr. Murphy? Is he in Nerovia now?” Carissa asked.
Jacob shook his head. “Mr. Murphy isn’t in Nerovia. He's likely taken control of most of Prince Yuvan'’s forces. I've
already sent word to General Farrell. Even if Prince Yuvan surrenders, we must remain cautious. There could be a
trap.”
Carissa recognized Clifford’s cunning, but she knew Thomas was facing challenges of his own. She turned to
Jacob and said, “Shouldn't you consider going to General Farrell's aid?”
“No,” Jacob refused firmly. “The siege at Valken is critical. Even if Mr. Murphy is manipulating Prince Yuvan’s

“Then please keep an eye on the situation and send a carrier pigeon to General Farrell immediately,” Carissa
said. “Of course,” Jacob agreed. “But do be cautious during your patrols, Your Grace. Prince Nicholas hasn't made
a move yet, but his silence is unsettling. | fear he may be planning something-especially against you.”
“Don’t worry, | will,” Carissa assured him.
She had already considered this possibility, which was why she seldom joined the patrols, only going out when
necessary.
Carissa knew that absolute safety was impossible, but she also knew that caution was crucial.
Lately, Violet had been accompanying her whenever she ventured out, never allowing her to be alone. Carissa
had stopped going to both the workshop and the women’s academy, fearing that her presence might attract
trouble.
For safety’s sake, Cynthia and Bun took on the task of overseeing the academy. It wasn’t only to teach the
students martial arts but also to keep an eye out for any disturbances
As for the workshop, with Alana and Leah there, there were no major concerns.
On the other hand, Michael had been watching the city gates closely, scrutinizing everyone who entered.

Fortunately, one of the men with him quickly explained that they were from a household registered in the capital,
presenting their residence papers as proof. He kept apologizing and bowing, trying to smooth over the situation.
