Finally, Killian spoke up. His voice sounded bitter.
"It's too late."
Mars was shocked when he heard him. Too late? How?
Did something happen to the Bellevars?
"Why is it too late?" he asked Killian.
"Duchess Bellevar passed away last year and her husband was so heartbroken that he lost his mind," Killian replied. "No amount of apologies could bring them back."
Mars was stunned at Killian's words. So.. the duchess was dead and her husband went mad?
How sad.
"They were very old already," Killian added. "It's just too bad that they spent their last days in exile and suffer."
Mars could imagine the old couple must have suffered a lot and he felt really sorry for them.
"Where is the duke now? I can bring him back to live with his relatives," he asked Killian. "At least they could take care of him in his old age."
