Chapter 779 The Trap Is Set

“Molly Dray.”

The man paused, switching to Avenloran to repeat the name.

“Molly Dray.”

He repeated it, this time rolling the last name on his tongue. “Dray.”

Suddenly, the realization hit him. In a flash, his bored demeanor vanished, his entire face coming alive. It was like a long–frozen lake violently cracking open to reveal something boilin and scorching hot underneath.

Darius didn’t understand Avenloran politics, completely lost on what that meant.

The man was in a stellar mood, entirely willing to connect the dots for him. “You wouldn’t get it. After all, you don’t know the military structure of Avenlor.”

He paused, his smirk deepening. “General Samuel Dray is one of the most fiercely loyal bannermen to Cassian, the Duke of Duskmoor.”

Darius’s brows furrowed, still clueless.

Looking at his confused face, the man let out a soft chuckle.

It wasn’t loud–just a low, dark rumble, like distant thunder rolling through the night.

“A breathtaking Avenloran beauty traveling north, using the Dray name as a cover, and now receiving the personal, heavily armed protection of the Princess Royal…”

The man’s eyes gleamed with dark, predatory amusement. “Darius, you absolute fool. General

Chapter 779 The Trap Is Set

The man stared down at him from above.

“I realized the truth far too late. By the time I connected the dots, the Duchess was already safely inside the Princess Royal’s manor. That place is an absolute fortress; my men can’t br in. The Duke is arriving tomorrow. The Duchess is cautious, and Valessa is just as paranoid. They won’t step out blindly…”

What he meant was: their plan had completely gone up in smoke.

They had been played like absolute fools by a Duchess who didn’t even know martial arts.

And Darius felt the sting the most–he had actually entertained some highly inappropriate fantasies about her.

His chest was a tangled mess of frustration, deep regret, and an incredibly faint trace of sorr

Why he felt sorrow, even he couldn’t explain.

Right then, a low chuckle drifted down from above.

Darius looked up to see his Master smiling. “Who says they won’t leave the manor?

“For example, if they got wind of some news they couldn’t ignore… they’d have no choice but come out and take a look.”

Darius considered this. “You mean…”

The man spoke slowly, radiating absolute confidence. “I hear Princess Flowira practically worships the late Oracle Ulana. When she found out the Oracle’s only living bloodline was in Avenlor, she was the one pulling the strings behind the peace treaty.”

Hearing the word “Oracle,” Darius’s heart sank even further into the abyss.

The woman he had lusted after wasn’t just Avenlor’s Duchess–she was Nordia’s Oracle.

No wonder she had felt so agonizingly out of reach in his dreams…

The man continued smoothly, “When Princess Flowira was in Avenlor, she grew incredibly close to the Duchess. Even though she stayed at the inn, she frequently sneaked into the Duke’s manor late at night for secret meetings with her.

“Right now, Princess Flowira has been missing for quite some time. Valessa knows she vanished, and the second she meets the Duchess, she’ll definitely spill the beans.”

At this point, the man actually looked at Darius with intense amusement. “Tell me… don’t you think we’re holding all the right cards now?”

Darius was still reeling from the revelation of the Duchess and the Oracle, taking a second process the question.

The man didn’t mind his sluggishness and simply smiled. “Whether it’s Valessa or the Duch if they get a tip about Flowira’s whereabouts and hear she’s suffering, there’s absolutely no w they’ll just sit still.

“My intel says the Duke is arriving in Kingsport tomorrow.”

Staring dead into Darius’s eyes, he delivered the final verdict. “If we want to capture the Ora tonight is our one and only window. Do you understand?”

Without a second thought, Darius bowed so deeply his forehead smashed against the bluesto floor with a heavy, sickening thud.

“I understand. I will see to it immediately.”

At the Princess Royal’s manor.
