Chapter 858: Project Beowulf

"I can't believe Zion intends to kill a Monarch," Michael said. "It seems like something happened between them that we don't know about, Father."

"Maybe it happened during the tournament?" Lady Callista commented. "I heard the Ashford Clan and Zion argued at the start before collaborating to make things work. Maybe he kept a grudge because of that."

Arthur shook his head. "Zion may be petty and would not hesitate to return any grudges, but it doesn't seem to be that simple. Also, he mentioned that his target was Aaron Ashford alone, not the Ashford Clan as a whole. 

"This means that, whatever happened between them, Aaron had done something he couldn't forgive no matter what."

Lady Callista pondered a bit before glancing at her butler, Hans.

"What do you think, Hans?" Lady Callista asked. "You've been paying attention to my grandson years ago. Did he mention anything about his grudge against Aaron?"

"No, My Lady," Hans replied. "The Young Master didn't mention anything to me back then. Also, knowing the Young Master's personality, he wouldn't say such a thing in front of people he didn't fully trust. He knows that just plotting the downfall of a Monarch can bring a calamity to the Leventis Family."

Arthur, Lady Callista, and Michael all nodded in agreement. Many people hated the Monarch Clans and the Prestigious Families.

However, they would not say these things out loud.
