Perry Kaner nodded in response to Mary's rude words.
"Em."
Mary didn't refute, neither would she argue.
When she decided to seek help from Kieran, Snake School Perry had the mental preparation to change her identity and position.
Mary, however, frowned again.
It wasn't the first time she met Snake School Perry but compared to Perry Kaner who showed off her abilities before, this time, Perry Kaner was a lot harder to deal with.
The venomous snake before her wasn't scary.
What was scary was the one hiding in the bushes and the shadows.
"I'll keep a close eye on you!"
Mary told Perry Kaner with her gaze.
Snake School Perry didn't reply. She didn't have the mood to care about all these at the moment. She knew what she should do now was to focus on leading Kieran the way.
Warren Palace wasn't big.
Compared to some of the royal palaces and palaces that Kieran knew of, it was like a small noble's manor in the countryside. However, that was only when compared to the nobles. Compared to a commoner who had one or two wooden houses, it was still unimaginably huge.
Following behind Perry Kaner, even with Perry Kaner's speed, it still took them around 5 minutes to reach their destination.
"This is the place where the servants of the palace stay."
"Ah, Mr. Tenar?!"
Mary introduced the place to Kieran but when she saw the dead body on the floor after Perry Kaner pushed open the door, she couldn't help but cry out in shock.
Then, before Kieran could ask, Mary started to explain.
"Tenar is my father's chief servant. He has been serving my father since he was 10 and has blocked arrows from the shadows for my father more than once. After that, because of his many injuries, it was hard for him to move around freely, so he slowly retired from the public's sight but he still visited my father often."
"Based on what my father told me, they were very close in private. Mr. Tenar has no reason to murder my father!"
"Besides, Mr. Tenar is a kind person. A lot of people in the palace liked and respected him, at least four to five of them would visit him every day."
"A person like him can't be the murderer!"
Perry Kaner said.
Kieran listened quietly, his eyes already entering [Tracking].
Kieran wouldn't assume Perry Kaner was the one who murdered King James VIII just because of what Perry Kaner said. Likewise, he wouldn't assume Perry Kaner was innocent just because of what Mary said.
Everything needs evidence.
Fortunately, there weren't too many of these things, nor were there too few.
Turner was killed in his room.
The killer used a dagger.
He killed the chief attendant of King James VIII by slitting his throat from behind. However, Tenar, the chief attendant of King James VIII, was obviously not someone who would give up without a fight.
Even though it was difficult for him to move due to his many injuries, he still struggled at the very last moment.
Kieran lifted the chief attendant's calf and looked at the bottom of his shoe.
The bottom of the shoe was slightly dusty, but there was one spot that was especially clean.
Obviously, the original head waiter's body instinctively controlled the sole of his foot to stomp on the man.
This kick was very powerful.
So much so that when he left, he was limping, and his footprints were very eye-catching.
Kieran stood up and followed the pair of footprints.
Soon, he arrived at the outer wall of Warren Palace.
"Your Highness, my lord."
The patrolling guards saluted respectfully when they saw Kieran and Mary. When Mary waved, Kieran had already leaped over the wall and headed towards a certain direction.
Perry Kaner followed closely behind.
Looking at the black figure, Perry Kaner's eyes were filled with astonishment again.
She knew Kieran must have noticed something.
However, she was also sure that there weren't any noteworthy clues in that house.
The traces were wiped clean.
Even the smell was wiped clean.
As for the killing method?
Slitting the throat was cruel but it wasn't exactly a secret method. In Snake School, every apprentice would come into contact with this method.
In simple words, aside from the 20 core members of Perry Kaner's Snake School group, the 200 plus members in the outer circle could also do it.
But right away, Perry Kaner's face turned gloomy.
There was no one left in the core of her group.
Except for herself.
Although she had made sufficient preparations for her opponent's surprise attack, she had still been careless.
She didn't just underestimate the enemy's strength, she also underestimated their numbers.
That failure, was because …
Her mistake!
Regret and hatred!
Like twin snakes, they tore at Perry Kaner's heart, causing her breaths to become hurried. Scenes of her comrades' deaths started to appear before her eyes.
Unwillingness!
Pain!
Despair!
As the thoughts intertwined with each other, Snake School's steps started to stagger.
"I told you, you can't find it, but it doesn't mean 2567 can't."
At that moment, Mary's voice sounded. Matriarch was stunned. She realized that she was being supported by Mary.
"Thank you."
Perry Kaner broke free from Mary's hand when she heard the mocking words. She then thanked Mary seriously.
"I didn't want to hold you up.
It's just that you happened to be standing beside me. "
Mary hastened her steps and chased after Kieran.
Perry Kaner looked at Mary and shook her head slightly.
Of course, she wouldn't expose Kieran's speed. If he didn't notice something was wrong with her, he wouldn't have walked beside her.
If it was a few days ago, Perry Kaner would have disdained Kieran's kindness.
But now?
Perry Kaner touched her heart.
She felt the sudden warmth in her heart.
She didn't feel cold anymore.
Light started to shine in the darkness.
Huu!
Perry Kaner took in a deep breath and quickly chased after Kieran.
Mary, who was walking beside Kieran, saw Perry Kaner catch up to them. Her furrowed brows loosened up a little, but she quickly frowned again.
She couldn't understand!
Why would the murderer who wanted to kill her father choose Mr. Tenar as the target?
Although Warren Palace was a little desolate because of the war, there were still a lot of servants!
It didn't make sense for the murderer to pick the most eye-catching Tenar out of hundreds of servants!
If it was just a common servant, even if it happened in the palace during this period of time, the matter would be dealt with hastily. However, it was different for Tenar.
Tenar's identity was destined to cause a huge uproar once it was exposed.
Besides, Tenar's good relationship with others would be exposed sooner or later!
"You are curious why the murderer chose Tenar as the target?"
Kieran asked suddenly as he was moving forward.
"Em.
It doesn't make sense, Mr. Tenar is too eye-catching! "
Mary nodded.
"Because …
Tenar is also one of his targets.
