Bertrand was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "You don't need to know so much. It's getting late; I will be going to conduct the funeral rites soon. As for you, you should go back and recite the Holy Scripture."
Having said that, Bertrand was ready to stand up and leave.
But Alex said, "I want to know the truth."
"There is no truth," Bertrand turned his back, not looking directly at Alex.
"If there's no truth, why did you stop those people from leaving Gust Town this morning, using the excuse of wolves? Is it because you're afraid they'll discover the facts?" Alex finally voiced the doubts in his heart.
Bertrand froze, his limbs trembling slightly, and it took him a while to turn around and say, "You know?"
Alex nodded calmly.
Bertrand's expression changed in an instant, "Tell me, is Lady Connie hidden by you?"
Alex remained silent, but his demeanor spoke volumes in Bertrand's eyes.
