The next day, Roland told the news to Tilly and the others.
"She actually gave a witch to those shameless nobles as a reward?" Before Princess Tilly could speak, Ashes shouted impatiently. If it were not for Andrea stopping her, she would have gone straight to the dungeon.
"Has Miss Nightingale confirmed it?" Tilly asked calmly.
"Just a few simple words, and she confessed everything." Roland recounted what happened in the prison in detail. "I thought it wouldn't be so quick to get the results. She's more fragile than I thought." According to his assumption, the interrogation yesterday was just a routine threat, and he did not intend to get any information. If Heidi refused to give in, the main course of the interrogation would be the main course. Because of this, he did not remove the God's Locket of Retribution from Heidi, and Heidi did not know that Nightingale's ability to detect lies was not based on sound, but on observation of magic power.
"I see." Tilly nodded. "Thank you for doing this for me."
"I'm your brother. You don't have to be so polite." Roland took the opportunity to make friends. "Besides, Heidi Morgan is a witch of Sleeping Island. It's only right for you to deal with her."
"I see..." Tilly was silent for a long time. "If this happened in Neverwinter, what would you do?"
Roland stared at her gem-like eyes, only to see a little sadness and pity in her gray pupils, but more than that, there was unspeakable anger.
She had made her decision.
"I'll do the same," Roland comforted her.
This sentence was equivalent to sentencing Heidi Morgan to death.
Tilly no longer hesitated. She whispered something in Ashes' ear. Ashes nodded and turned to leave the office.
"Then I'll leave, brother."
It was obvious that Tilly was in a very low mood. Roland did not know what to say at this time. Just as he was about to send her back to the Witch Building, an excited scream came from behind him. It came from the Listening Magic Stone in Nightingale's arms.
"This is Lightning. I repeat, this is Lightning. A Xia has found the time of the accident!"
The little girl's words stunned everyone present.
"Uh, what did she see?" Roland asked.
"Huge mouths, tentacles, and two monsters. I don't know how to describe them." Lightning sounded extremely excited. "This is an unprecedented discovery. My God... Your Majesty, you'd better come and see for yourself!"
"This is …" Tilly was puzzled.
"They're exploring the Devil's Town behind the snow-capped mountain. The Red Mist there disappeared a week ago," Roland briefly explained. "I wanted to tell you about it today, but..."
"I almost forgot about the demons." Tilly took a deep breath. "But you can tell me more details on the way."
"On the way?" Roland was slightly surprised.
"Can't I go with you?" she asked, blinking.
She was indeed the strong Princess Tilly. When faced with a critical situation, she could immediately adjust her state of mind and put aside her personal feelings, which was a necessary quality to be a ruler. Roland sighed inwardly. In this regard, she was far more talented than he was.
Moreover, if he brought Tilly with him, it meant that Ashes and Andrea would also accompany him, which would greatly increase the safety factor. There was no reason for him not to agree.
"No, of course, no problem," he replied with a nod.
*****
Heidi leaned against the cage, waiting for Roland to take her out.
The Bloodfang Association was completely finished, and Tilly would certainly not allow her to return to Sleeping Island. However, as a member of the royal family of Morgan, she had found a new way to restore the throne.
That was to rely on the secular power of the Kingdom of Graycastle to help her regain the throne.
Heidi believed in her own reward more than the promise of the other party. Perhaps because of his relationship with Tilly, it was inconvenient for him to agree directly. He insisted on asking about the whereabouts of the witches in order to give an explanation to Sleeping Island.
She firmly believed that no nobleman would turn a blind eye to such a great temptation. Half of the fertile land in the Kingdom of Wolfheart would bring him unimaginable wealth and prestige, and his name would be engraved in the annals of history and passed down forever.
As for herself? She might be reviled by the nobles in the future, but she did not care. As long as she could become the Queen of the Kingdom of Wolfheart, she could abandon everything.
Then, she could officially take revenge.
She would take revenge on those nobles who had betrayed her and her father.
She vowed to hang those traitors one by one and hang them at the city gate to announce to the public that this was the fate of those who framed Grand Duke Morgan.
Suddenly, the iron door of the basement was pushed open, and the squeaking sound was particularly loud in the silent dungeon.
Heidi immediately got up and looked at the end of the passage while leaning against the railing.
However, it was not Roland Wimbledon who appeared in her sight, but Ashes, whose face was as dark as still water.
She suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of her feet.
"What, what are you doing here? Where's His Majesty?"
"You should be well aware of my purpose for coming here." Ashes walked step by step to the edge of the cage. Every time Ashes took a step forward, Heidi would take a step back. But soon, she had nowhere to go. "When you handed over the innocent witches to the nobles, you should have expected that such a day would come."
"No!" Heidi screamed. "His Majesty promised not to pursue this matter anymore. He has forgiven me. You're violating the king's order! Where is he? I want to see him! "
Ashes held the iron railing with both hands and forcibly pulled it open. She bent over and walked into the cell. "Those witches came here with longing, hoping to seek shelter from the forerunners of the Bloodfang Association, hoping to sleep peacefully without being caught by the church, and not worrying about what to eat every day. But you let them down. Not only that, but you also sent them to hell. The witches escaped the siege of the church, but were harmed by their own kind. Even if Roland forgives you, I can't pretend that nothing has happened. "
"Did this guy... eavesdrop on my conversation with His Majesty? Or did he tell these things to Tilly and the others? " Heidi touched the God's Locket of Retribution on her neck in horror, but it was completely wrapped by the iron ring and could not be removed with her fingers.
"Let me help you," Ashes approached the wall, reached out her hand and grabbed her neck, lifting her up in one go.
The iron ring began to contract under Ashes' strong grip, and Heidi soon found it difficult to breathe. Her body twisted like a dehydrated fish, and she kicked her feet to find a fulcrum, but all her attempts were in vain. Her vision gradually blurred, and Ashes' figure became elusive.
"Why is this happening?"
Heidi did not want to die here. She was the only heir to the throne and the future Queen of the Kingdom of Wolfheart.
The Fang Throne seemed to be moving away from her, and she could hear the mocking laughter of the nobles.
