Indeed, when Ludwig opened the door, he saw Osdin pointing a gun at him. However, since Ludwig managed to dodge, Osdin did not shoot him in his vital regions.
While Osdin was re-aiming, Ludwig kicked him and sent him flying.
Osdin fell heavily to the ground. When he was struggling to get up, his gun fell into Ludwig’s hand and was pointing at his own head.
“Don’t… Don’t shoot…”
“You want me to not shoot you now, huh? Then why did you aim it at me when I opened the door?”
Osdin sighed emotionally when Ludwig asked him that. After that, he told the truth.
Osdin told Ludwig that he accidentally overheard Yves’ conversation. Not only did he know that Yves was going to take action against Astor and the others, but even Osdin’s name was included in the plan.
Osdin panicked instantly and could only choose to find a way to protect himself. Therefore, he instructed the front desk to lead anyone who came to him directly upstairs.
Osdin would be ready by then.
It did not matter who opened the door. Osdin would choose to strike first. Ludwig finally understood when Osdin confessed that this had been instigated by Yves.
“In other words, this was all a ploy from the beginning, including the Somerland tour guide Milo?” Ludwig asked and Osdin nodded quickly.
“Yes, Yves instructed me to do this… The tour guide is from Meleya. He only knows Somerish so he often pretends to be a Somerlander.”
At this time, Ludwig felt a little remorseful. He did not expect to fall into the other party’s trap.
“Since you’re all instructed by Yves, why should I believe what you say?”
