Chapter 117
“He knew I had lost my memory. I don’t think Priest Ian told him about it…… How could the High Priest know what was only happening in the noble families? Also, he sent a letter to Priest Ian to return, and when we met, he didn’t show any signs of wanting him back.”
If it’s trivial, it could be trivial, but if it’s suspicious, it is suspicious.
Besides…… one more thing.
The fact that I suffered from a strange disease from the day he arrived. On the day when the maid named Belle showed up, I even woke up writhing in pain.
However, I could not tell this story. Brother had already listened to me enough. We don’t even have to talk like this.
Ha, that’s funny. I hated it when my family hid difficult things from me. I wanted to help, and I wanted to worry, too. However, now that this is my situation, I am acting the same way.
Maybe because I resemble my family? Yes, let’s just think about it that way. I don’t even feel sick right now anyway. Later, after the matter is over, let’s talk and nag at that time.
“Come to think of it, the atmosphere of the temple was like that, too. Priest Ian strangely…….”
My brother muttered with a rather serious face, then glanced down at me and closed his mouth. It seemed that Brother had also decided to remain silent.
I just made the same choice, so I didn’t feel upset.
“For now, yes. It’s not bad to investigate anything. It doesn’t seem to make any sense at all, so I’ll try to assign someone to watch him as you said.”
After thinking for a while, Brother smiled again. A warm hand ran through my hair.
I let out a sigh of relief.
I was extremely grateful to Brother who listened to my story with sincerity, rather than contacting a mental hospital.
“Thank you, Brother.”
It was a sincere thank you.
“Are you going to assign someone to the high priest’s side?”
As Selena left the room, Alogen asked Aaron. Aaron replied, returning to his seat and taking out a blank paper.
“Yes. As Selena said, isn’t it suspicious? And…….”
‘The child’s earnest eyes looked confident.’
He hadn’t even bothered to say this until now. It was clear that it would sound too absurd to say it to someone who was not a family member.
“Anyway, I was thinking of assigning someone to the High Priest.”
“May I ask why?”
Aaron wrote an order for a person to be assigned along with brief information about the high priest on a blank piece of paper.
After reading the completed paper once, Aaron raised his eyes and looked at Alogen.
“Doesn’t Sir Alogen already know? There is a connection to the maid named Bell with him.”
Contrary to the determined voice, a neat smile appeared on his face. Facing that smile, Alogen’s head moved slowly up and down.
“I was only asking just in case. Certainly, it was stated that it was only a few days before the day Sir Lucas and the maid met that the maid began to become strange. However, the maid had not gone out until about ten days before that day.”
“Right, that means that the marble the maid swallowed was obtained not from the outside, but from the inside.”
Alogen swept through his beard with his fingers.
It was a habit that showed up when he talked for a long time.
“And, just in time, there was an outsider who stayed in the mansion at that time. The High Priest. So it’s bound to be suspicious…… It would be unreasonable to explain away all of this as a coincidence.”
Aaron remembered his sister who had visited him earlier.
The child was sure of something. It’s not just an excuse, there must be another reason.
There’s a reason she can’t tell him. He couldn’t ferret it out. So, all he did was trust her.
He just hoped that the reason she couldn’t tell him is not a bad thing.
“First of all, we need to send someone to investigate the temple.”
Alogen suggested, and Aaron nodded.
The high priest will not be in the temple now. He said the temple was destroyed. First of all, they need to prioritize locating the high priest.
However, the temple also needed to be investigated. If he is truly suspicious, there may be some evidence left in the temple.
Action was urgent before the opponent could remove the evidence.
“I will go.”
Aaron, lost in thought about whom to send, lifted his head and looked at Alogen. Alogen raised his hand with a relaxed smile.
“Sir?”
“Yes. Shouldn’t a small number of people go? The strongest one in this mansion…… probably me. As a wizard, it should be easy to hide away and find things.”
“But not alone.”
With the determined voice, Alogen chuckled and burst into laughter. It wasn’t mocking, it was because he felt like he was being worried over by a grandson who didn’t exist for no reason.
“Yes, I will take Aiden.”
“Aiden…… Will that be enough?”
Aaron asked, stretching his words.
Oh my, Aiden…… You are not fully trusted yet!
Alogen sighed inside.
However, there was also a slightly pleasant mood mixed in. Maybe it’s the joy of a teacher teasing a student.
“That’s enough. Actually, I can go alone, but I will take an assistant just in case.”
It wasn’t that Aaron didn’t trust Aiden.
He was just worried about whether the two of them would be enough. Aaron looked at the wizard sitting in front of him.
Alogen is a high-ranking wizard of the Magic Tower. If there is a class even among high-ranking wizards, he will surely be ranked as a first-class wizard.
If Alogen himself guarantees it, it should be so.
Besides, since the wizards are traveling among themselves, coming and going should be quick and quiet.
Aaron nodded his head.
It had been a long time since he moved with someone’s permission, so Alogen laughed again.
Their trip was scheduled in the next three days.
