Chapter 852 You Can Boldly Identify the Culprit
As Robin's voice fell, a suffocating silence descended upon Dragon Manor.
Finished
For twenty years, a nagging question had haunted the hearts of everyone who survived that tragic night.
Dragon Manor had been wiped out.
The Seven Great Royal Houses had received the Dragon Palace Order requested for reinforcement, but they failed to arrive in time.
The frustration they felt was something only they could truly understand.
The reason for their delay was something utterly embarassing- they had become hopelessly lost.
Such a simple mistake left them dumbfounded.
Even now, they still didn't understand how such a thing could have happened.
If it was the leader's fault, why hadn't the other officers noticed something was wrong?
After the incident, every officer involved in the rescue was questioned thoroughly, but all of them were just as confused.
Having fought in countless battles over the years, how could they make such a basic mistake?
The leadership of Draconia was equally puzzled.
If someone within the Seven Great Royal Houses had truly wanted to sow discord, this wasn't the kind of blunder they would make. It was too absurd. More troubling was the information showing that the aid sent by the Seven Great Royal Houses had encountered the same problem.
It was baffling.
The destruction of Dragon Manor was a huge disgrace to the leadership.
Such brazen slaughter, happening right under their noses, was something they could not accept.
They had once been furious, even considering using the nation's strongest military forces to investigate and punish the culprits.
But in the end, they chose a more measured approach for the sake of the bigger picture.
They decided to put the matter on hold, knowing that a full investigation might lead to chaos, which could result in even greater losses or become uncontrollable,
No nation would ever allow such a situation to unfold.
The Seven Great Royal Houses were deeply troubled.
For two decades, this sensitive issue had weighed heavily on their minds, a question they dared not speak
1. of.

But they had never stopped seeking the truth.

For their generation, betraying the Dragon Lord was a crime against the very foundation of their beliefs, a betrayal of their forefathers.
Back then, they were nothing. It was the Dragon Lord who had led them through countless battles, shaping the land they now stood on, and achieved monumental feats, ushering in a glorious era that shaped their lives and brought them honor. Time passed quickly-twenty years flew by like fleeting moments.
Yet, those confusion and frustration remained unresolved in their hearts.
Now, with Young Lord Dragon's youngest son-grown and preparing to reclaim his rightful position as the ruler of the Palace, it was their hope that this matter would be addressed.
Yet, the issue was tricky and lacked the clues which provided as a starting point.
They had no idea how Robin would approach it.
They had long suspected there was an insider sabotaging them, but no one could find any trace of this traitør.
Even more puzzling was how the traitor had managed to delay the reinforcements from arrived on time.
This event had only driven a deeper wedge between the Seven Great Royal Houses.
When Robin took over the Dragon Palace, his first priority was to address this issue. This showed his resolve and foresight.
Only by resolving this could the relationship between the Royal Houses and Dragon Palace be restored.
Solving this mystery would close one of the greatest regrets of their lives.
The silence in the manor lasted for two full minutes.
Robin looked at the Seven Kings and Levi, and then broke the silence.
"Years ago, when General Whalen returned from Southmere to Dragon Palace with the Dragon Lord's order, the first to receive the Golden Dragon Order should have been General Monroe.
"General Monroe, who was responsible for passing on the order at Dragon Palace back then?"
Levi immediately stood and explained, "Master Ramsey, urgent orders like the Golden Dragon Order were personally reported by Captain Riverson of the Dragon Palace's Information Screening Department, who then had them reviewed by the highest authorities of Dragon Manor. After the Dragon Palace seal was added, Captain Riverson personally transmitted the order."
Robin instructed, "Very well. Please have Captain Riverson come to the meeting and explain the process of transmitting the order."
Two minutes later, Mike arrived in the hall.
"Master Ramsey, Lords, Generals, Captain Mike Riverson from the Information Screening Department
reports."

Robin gestured to Mike and asked, "Captain Riverson, on the night of the incident at Dragon Manor, you were the one who received the Golden Dragon Order from General Whalen, correct?"
Yes. Master Ramsey," Mike replied, bowing.
He continued. "After General Whalen delivered the order to Dragon Palace, he immediately left
"When Dragon Lord was still in power, there was a rule in place. Emergency orders could only be carried out using a special token to summon military forces from the Royal Houses.
"At the foot of Dragon Mountain, there were Orderly Officers assigned to the Seven Great Royal Houses and other important institutions. Orders like these had to be personally delivered by me to the Orderly Officers after obtaining approval from the manor or the Senior General's Mansion and receiving the Dragon Palace seal.noveldrama
"These important orders could not be transmitted by simple communications. They had to be personally delivered by the Information Screening Department's captain to ensure their authenticity.
"Therefore, after receiving the Golden Dragon Order from General Whalen, I immediately requested General Levi's approval, and then swiftly led an Orderly Officer to deliver the orders to the communication centre of the Seven Great Royal Houses at the foot of Dragon Mountain.
"Based on the speed of this process, the order should have been delivered within ten minutes.
"During that time, Dragon Manor was still peaceful.
"The incident didn't happen until 20 minutes later.
"After transmitting the orders, Þreturned to Dragon Palace right away and arrived at the office at 9:10 p.m...."
Mike finished his detailed account.
Robin asked directly, "General Monroe, is there any discrepancy in Captain Riverson's account?"
Levi immediately responded, "Master Ramsey, Captain Riverson's account is entirely accurate."
"Very well," Robin nodded.
"Captain Riverson, on the night of the incident, you were the only one who handled the order and spoke to the seven Orderly Officers. Who, in your opinion, from the Seven Great Royal Houses could have sabotaged the process?" Mike froze for a moment, clearly startled. "Master Ramsey, I ..."
Robin's voice grew cold and commanded, "Don't hesitate! Speak up boldly! Today, I will back you!
"This long-unsolved mystery will be resolved once and for all today!
"Whoever it is, no matter their rank or accomplishments, I will make them pay the ultimate price!"
A complicated expression flashed in Mike's eyes.
"Master Ramsey, I truly find it difficult to make a judgment. Besides, I hold a low rank, how dare I speak recklessly before the lords?

"Furthermore, after I delivered the order, I returned to Dragon Palace, and I don't know what happened afterward.
"All I know is that at 9:30 PM, the high-ranking officials of Draconia suddenly activated a special protocol, mobilizing the Golden Dragon Guard to head to Dragon Manor. But by the time they arrived, the disaster had already occurred." Robin interrupted, "We don't need you to tell us that."
"Captain Riverson, based on your instincts, do you think Westeria Residence might have been behind the delayed reinforcements?"
At these words, all eyes turned to Nigel.
