When Fabrice and his group arrived at the front yard, Rhett led Zaid and others to the steps.
“Greetings, Lord Zimmerman!” Fabrice greeted Rhett.
Nearby, Zaid nodded at Fabrice. Although they were both generals and didn’t communicate much, they were familiar with each other.
“Greetings, Uncle Rhett!” Kingsford also quickly greeted Rhett.
Despite their high status, none of them dared show the slightest arrogance in front of Rhett.
“Heavenly Eagle City’s general, what brought you here?” Rhett squinted and looked at the group below calmly.
Fabrice glanced up and stated solemnly, “Lord Zimmerman, we’ve confirmed that the bandit who kidnapped the saintess from Heavenly Eagle City a few days ago is hiding in your mansion. His name is Isaac Garten. Do you know him?”
Rhett frowned, while Zaid and Vince turned pale.
The saintesses of the Kingdom of Vriweth possessed a unique position. They might not be powerful or have significant resources, but they were protected by the kingdom. They were viewed as heaven’s chosen ones, bringing peace and prosperity to the people.
Among dozens of cities, only one saintess would be chosen within a range of three to five cities.
Within the kingdom, it was widely acknowledged that the so-called chosen saintess was merely a concept devised by the previous king to stabilize the people during a time of calamity.
However, in a powerful kingdom where authority was paramount, nobody dared to expose this lie. Instead, everyone vigorously supported it.
“He’s in the west courtyard! General Sabiston, feel free to arrest him!” Vince immediately pointed backward.
Fabrice grew ecstatic and immediately commanded the three men behind him, “Go check it out!”
“Hold on!” Rhett frowned and stopped those men.
He then glanced coldly at Fabrice. “You claimed someone from my place is a bandit who kidnapped the saintess. If this news spreads to the Royal City, it would ruin my reputation. Where is the evidence?”
Fabrice was stunned. He frowned and responded, “Lord Zimmerman, this matter involves Ms. Saintess. I hope you won’t interfere.”
“Haha, it seems you have no evidence! If so, then leave! I’ve served in the Royal City for decades, so I’m familiar with your procedures. Leave now!”
When Rhett waved, snazzynovel.com emanated a powerful aura that enveloped Fabrice and his men.
Fabrice broke out in a cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and snorted coldly. “Let’s go!”
Kingsford’s eyes flashed with a cold light as snazzynovel.com smiled. “Uncle Rhett, I’d like to visit the courtyard to see Rae. Would that be convenient? My elder brother will soon take on the role of Regent. If Rae agrees to marry me, it’ll be a double joy for us.‘’
Rhett hesitated slightly before softening his expression. “It’s getting late. Perhaps you could come tomorrow. Rae hadn’t eaten dinner and wasn’t feeling well.”
Kingsford was stunned. He then nodded and turned to leave.
After the group left, Vince looked at Rhett with terror. “Father, w-won’t you alert the royal court?”
Rhett pondered for a few seconds before turning to Zaid. “Zaid, go to the west courtyard. Disguise Isaac as one of your men to get snazzynovel.com out.”
