Two days later…
News of Cedric's arrest was still the talk of the town throughout the Great Velmora Empire.
Two days had passed, and it was enough time for people to uncover what had really happened.
Eventually, someone with connections to a guard at the detention center managed to learn the truth.
Cedric was suspected of working with the wealthiest businessman in the northern region. Their partnership was believed to be connected to the slave trade.
As the news spread, it hit the empire like an atomic bomb exploding in the middle of a city.
"Damn! I never expected something like this! Prince Cedric is truly evil!"
"You're right! I used to think princes were kind, honorable people, but now I realize they're just as cruel as the criminals out there!"
"What a scumbag! No wonder so many young women have gone missing in the northern region. It turns out Prince Cedric is one of the people behind the slave trade!"
