The treasury has been stolen.
Only one necklace was lost, and five guards were killed.
However, this necklace is the extremely valuable "Mermaid's Tears," and the guards who died were left in a dilapidated state, with their limbs mutilated.
The thief was utterly audacious, sneaking into the treasury during the midnight's weakest guard shift, committing theft and murder, and then proceeded to the First Prince's study to rummage through and take some private letters.
At that time, Theodore had just left the ball and was on his way back to the Imperial Palace. Upon receiving this news, he was utterly certain it was Elrian's handiwork.
Only a madman like Elrian could pull off such an unbelievable act.
