Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3224

Darryl did not panic even when he faced so many soldiers. He was ready to summon his Heavenly Halberd.

For a while, the atmosphere was unspeakably solemn. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Walker chuckled as he stared at Darryl closely; his gazes looked proud.

'So what if you are a Royal Court Knight? The Duke is on my side. Fighting with me is simply digging your own grave!'

"Alright, alright!"

In the nick of the moment, Kelly, who had been sitting quietly, smiled at the Duke. "We haven't figured out the truth yet, so why capture Darryl? I think there must be a misunderstanding."

Argh…

The Duke groaned. He stroked his beard and said, "My younger sister makes sense too!" When the Duke was in charge of the Heavenly Star Principality, Kelly had been of great help. Hence, the Duke was very receptive to Kelly's ideas and suggestions.

At the same time, the soldiers stopped.

Walker got anxious and said, "Your Highness, Darryl is obviously colluding with the Blood Hand Organization. You must be merciless—"

Kelly interrupted Walker before he could finish talking.

Kelly was displeased as she said to Walker, "Walker, you keep saying that Darryl is colluding with the Blood Hand Organization, but you can't produce any concrete evidence. Furthermore, Darryl is a Royal Court Knight, just like you. If he's locked up today, how will the Duke convince the public with this decision?"

"I—"

Walker's face flushed. He wanted to refute, but he dared not.

Although Walker was the Duke's favorite, Kelly was the Duke's sister and quite powerful.

Kelly calmed down and said, "I think what happened today was a misunderstanding. It might not be as serious as what we thought."

Then, Kelly glanced at Darryl and Walker. "Both of you are Royal Court Knights. You are supposed to assist the Duke. How can you fight with each other? Let me and the Duke set up a banquet so you two should stay and make peace!"

Kelly spoke softly but in an unquestionable tone.

"Okay, that's good." The Duke smiled and nodded in agreement.

He did not need to worry about anything when his younger sister was around.
