"Head Maid Marian!"
Garrick glanced at the list and ordered,
"Regularly adding slow poison to Lord Earl's food, this crime is unforgivable, seize her!"
"Yes!"
Two guards quickly stepped forward and restrained the sleepy middle-aged woman!
Although Garrick was not favored by Susanna, he had served at Red Griffin Castle for over a decade and had many loyal subordinates around him.
Garrick was also generous, often teaching the guards sword skills, and many guards respected him highly.
So when Garrick took the orders and made a round through the castle, most guards followed his command.
Despite the head maid's large face and round waist, she couldn't pry the guards' strong arms off her, and when she opened her mouth to shout, a rag was stuffed in.
"If you honestly confess Susanna's crimes, maybe you'll at least have a quick death."
Garrick's eyes were sharp, and with a wave of his arm,
"Next, Guard Gut!"
