The Regressed Mercenary's Machinations

Chapter 508

Berhem froze, his face blank with shock. How could a backwater commoner like Ghislain know the royal family's most tightly guarded secret?

Berhem’s fury boiled inside him. The humiliation of being interrogated by this man was unbearable. But what choice did he have? His life now hung by a thread, held by the blade of the very man he despised.

Berhem, trembling, glanced at Ghislain for his reaction before continuing.

"That’s why only the Delphine family was ever granted the title of Duke in this kingdom. And their house was given the right to overthrow the royal family at will if necessary."

"Hah..."
