Under Theodore’s guidance, the Sinclair family maintained their composure. He dispatched people to the Capital

Guard and the Garrison Unit barracks, then awaited the Royal Citadel's opening tto file a report. The Sinclair

family followed all proper protocols.

Theodore trusted that Rafael and Carissa knew the situation and wouldn't look the other way. They had their way

of handling things. Since the Sinclair family primarily consisted of businesspeople and ordinary citizens, they

would tackle this as ordinary folk would.

The Royal Citadel officials quickly initiated an investigation. Thalia and her two children had vanished late at

night without passing through the main or side entrances of the residences, which meant they had been

abducted. As part of the routine procedure, the Royal Citadel officials needed to inquire if the family had

offended anyone upon their return to the capital.

As the officials searched for the missing family members and took statements, the matter caught Salvador’s

attention. With no morning court session today, Michael reported that Daniel's wife and children had

mysteriously gone missing the previous evening

Anything concerning the Sinclair family always drew special concern from Salvador.

Just then, an official from the Royal Management Department reported that the Hell Monarch’s household had

returned a palace maid.

The maid had once served Helen but was sent back for stealing a pair of Mystic Pearl earrings. They were found

along with a cache of valuable jewelry in her room. Since the items didn’t belong to the people in Hell Monarch

Estate, it was suspected that the maid had stolen from the various ladies of the court while in the palace, leading

to her return to the Royal Management Department for further action.

When Salvador initially heard the report about the maid's theft, he frowned and commented, “Such matters are

for the Royal Management Department to handle. They'll deal with it and inform the

But as the words left his mouth, he sensed something was off. He ordered, “Conduct a thorough investigation to

ascertain the origins of the maid's jewelry and valuables.”

queen.”

How could someone serving an honored concubine living outside the palace possibly steal the jewelry of other

concubines in the palace?

The maid wouldn't even have access. Even if she did, it was unlikely she could do so alone. Only palace maids

who served in the palace or those guarding the storerooms had the chance to steal.

However, the maids serving Helen had no dealings with Salvador’s concubines.

So, it was the Hell Monarch’s household that had discovered the issues with the jewelry and valuables. Then,

they found it inconvenient to investigate, so they returned the maid to the palace for further action. Salvador

simultaneously ordered the Capital Guard and Garrison Unit to scour the city, determined to retrieve Daniel's

wife and children. He could never tolerate such an incident under his reign.

To have abducted three people without alerting anyone, especially at night, was likely the work of skilled hands.

Whether from rival businesses or powerful figures residing in certain estates, daring to touch the Sinclair family

was like digging a grave for oneself.

Salvador was inherently suspicious. Both incidents seemed aimed at the Sinclair family, but in reality.

they were targeted at the Hell Monarch’s household. Although he feared Rafael’s military achievements, no one

would dare to lay a finger on the prince as long as Salvador reigned.

While the king was wary of Rafael, they were ultimately brothers. As long as Rafael harbored no ambitions for

rebellion, there was no reason for Salvador to act against him. After all, Rafael was a hero for reclaiming the

Southern Frontier. More importantly, he was Salvador’s brother.

Under intense questioning, Janice was on the brink of death. She divulged everything she knew.

Derek cforward to report, “Your Majesty, Janice has confessed. She claims that Lady Heather bribed her.

Initially, Lady Heather instructed her to frequently speak favorably of her to Lady Helen, hoping to gain Lady

Helen's favor.

“But when Lady Helen left the palace for Hell Monarch Estate, Janice never anticipated Lady Carissa would take

her under her wing. Lady Heather instructed her to speak to Lady Carissa on her behalf. She asked Janice to

claim that Lady Heather faced many difficulties, and it wasn’t that she didn’t want to help when Lady Carissa

was going through difficult times.”

“Heather?” Salvador furrowed his brow.

In his mind, his aunt-in-law had always been timid and hesitant. She was Leona’s mother, but she had silently

endured while her daughter had suffered at the hands of the Earl of Gracehold’s family.

“It can’t be Heather, Salvador replied coldly. “Continue the interrogation until we unearth the true puppet master

behind this.”

“Your Majesty, | fear further questioning may not yield results. Janice won't hold out much longer,” Derek

responded.

“Then, investigate the jewelry and valuables,” Salvador commanded.

“We've already looked into it. Aside from a pair of Mystic Pearl earrings, the other jewelry consists solely of

pieces made by The Gilded Tower. As for the gold and silver ingots, they're not from official mints but were

privately minted. While there are silver coins, the sheer volof privately minted gold and silver Ingots with no

traceable origins makes investigation impossible,” Derek reported.
