Chapter 491 - Chapter 488 – The Traitor Viktor

The night at The Dragon Inn passed in peaceful silence, a sharp contrast to the bloody chaos that had just occurred in the narrow alley near the central market. The cool night air slipped through the gaps in the carved wooden windows, carrying the scent of wet earth after the light afternoon rain. The suite room on the upper floor of the luxurious inn felt warm and comfortable, illuminated by the faint golden light of a deliberately dimmed crystal lantern. The light softly reflected off the polished mahogany-paneled walls, creating long shadows that danced gently across the ceiling.
