Sir Duren's guess was correct, and it wasn't long until he saw two figures cloaked in capes appear at the other end of the alley.
Judging by their stature, they appeared to be a man and a woman, and the Imperial Guard Captain was still pondering the identity of the individuals across from him.
The woman had already removed her hood.
"Sir Duren, I apologize for summoning you in this manner."
"Priest of Cornelia, is that you?" The Imperial Guard Captain was quite surprised, "You left this morning, and soon after, His Majesty was poisoned. I sent people to find you, but unfortunately, it was too late, and now His Majesty has already..."
"I know what has happened," Cornelia said.
"Indeed, half a day has passed since the incident occurred; the news must have spread throughout the city by now."
