Chapter 72: Phantom Thief Dauphin (16) - Infiltration

#72 Phantom Thief Dauphin (16) - Infiltration

Rumors, in the course of spreading, inevitably acquire all kinds of exaggeration, distortion, and embellishment.

In that sense, the rumor that spread through Lebruk was rather unusual, because its contents were remarkably consistent.

─The 8th Squad Captain was in collusion with Dauphin! The reason the 8th Squad Captain had been able to shine all this time was because she’d been running a scam with Dauphin!

─But when the righteous knight order appeared and her position was put at risk, she leaked information from inside and helped the crime along!

─What a vile, filthy act! The 8th Squad Captain must be punished at once!

In that rumor, the knight order were competent victims who couldn’t show their true ability because of the betrayal of a vile ally, while Dalia was trash who envied such a knight order and plotted a filthy conspiracy.

That much was only to be expected.

After all, the ones who had been leading that rumor were the hype men hired by the knight order.

“How are people reacting?”...
