Master Zelas's assassination became a topic of conversation among Elba residents for a long time. Since the money on Master Zelas's body was missing, the case was classified as a robbery and murder.
The third prince handled this matter with swift and decisive actions. To minimize the impact, he didn’t bother with evidence. Within two days, he identified five murderers, cut their tongues and tendons, an...

Compared to Zelas, who lay outside, the group of corpses inside the alley was worth pondering over.
The Third Prince paced back and forth twice in the alley, then looked towards the dead-end inside, a hin...
