After the damage to the Ford family mansion several days ago, workers began working continuously to repair the chaos caused by the ghosts
The workers were transporting construction materials inside the palace, but they were worried about what was happening at their work site
Alfred and Caroline were standing facing each other
They had a gentle smile on their faces, but the thick atmosphere emanating from them made all the workers sweat profusely
The workers knew they must not offend either of them. Therefore, the presence of these important people at their work site was annoying for them
All the workers looked at their boss, hoping that he would ask Alfred and Caroline to leave the place so that they could work in peace
But their boss was looking out the window and pretending not to see what was happening
"..." The workers finally gave up and decided to pretend not to see what was happening like the boss did
"Can I go to the Grand Master's room?.." Caroline placed her hand in front of her like a typical maid
"Of course...I will open the room for you." Alfred replied with a smile
He didn't want to let Caroline turn around freely in the palace
This palace was his home. He wouldn't allow such an impudent little girl to mess around unattended
"There is no need for that, the master gave me the key to his room..."
Alfred tightened his grip and his smile became worse. "In that case, you won't need my help."
"Alfred!" Everyone in the room heard a panicked voice
Soon one of the maids came in and she was panting. "The young master wants to leave the palace again..."
Alfred's face became serious when he heard the maid's words
He doesn't know why, but every time Alexander leaves the palace, a strange incident occurs
Alexander was not the type of person who liked to leave the palace in the first place. He often stays inside his room watching TV or playing games
But lately he has been going out more frequently
Or more correctly, he was running away
First he ran away from the palace and went wandering in the forest
By chance, the dangerous criminal Robin Hood appeared
Last night, Alexander left the palace, and according to the note he left, he went to watch a movie
Several hours later, they received news that Mendez and his family had been killed inside their home
According to reports, everyone in the house was killed, including the guards
This made Alfred uneasy about Alexander going out into the city
Caroline looked at them curiously
All this maid said was that Alexander wanted to leave the palace for a while
What is the reason for this strange reaction?
It wasn't just Alfred who showed such an expression
The nearby servants who heard the maid's words showed difficult expressions as if they were about to suffer an earthquake
"Alfred!" Alexander entered the living room carrying a black bag on his back
"Young Master!" Alfred greeted him happily as if he was greeting his grandson.
Alfred leaned towards Alexander and whispered. "Caroline is here."
Caroline was close enough to hear Alfred whisper
She grabbed her long skirt and gently bowed to greet Alexander
"Caroline? Who is she?.." Alexander asked
Stolen novel; please report.
Caroline froze and the words of greeting that were coming out of her mouth stopped
Does he really not remember me?
We met on many occasions
Alfred pointed his eyes at Caroline
"Hmm?.." Alexander looked at Caroline, who froze in confusion
"Why is this maid standing like that? Do you have back problems?" Alexander said pitifully
Caroline quickly adjusted her position and coughed lightly. "Young Master Alexander. I am Caroline, Lucas's personal maid."
Caroline was cautious when revealing her identity, because she did not know how Alexander would react after it was decided that the title of heir would be transferred to Lucas.
Is he angry?
Will he try to cause trouble for me in order to relieve his hatred?
Caroline was afraid of what would happen
"Oh, well... nice to meet you..." Alexander nodded
All she got was a dull answer.
Is he not going to do anything to me?
"Caroline is here to transport the Dragon Blood Spear to the Imperial Capital." Alfred said
"When you say Dragon Blood Spear, you mean the red spear with the beautiful golden engravings that is in my father's room?" Alexander asked with an unreadable expression
"This is correct." Alfred nodded affirmatively
"..." Alexander was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something
Then he turned his gaze to Caroline. "Is it necessary to transport this spear to the capital?"
"These are the orders of the head of the family." Caroline put the responsibility on Theodore
She knows that Alexander will not dare to disobey his father's orders
"..." Alexander did not reply. Beads of sweat began to form on his face
He didn't know how to tell them that he had tampered with that spear
It started when he wanted to create a spiritual weapon
Unlike potions, spiritual weapons were incredibly rare and required spiritual energy experts who specialized in weapons
He made the spiritual potion, so he wanted to try his luck at making the spiritual weapon, hoping he might succeed
The spiritual weapons consisted of two parts
A physical part . This weapon must be made of strong materials capable of withstanding spiritual influences
The second part was the spiritual part. It involves a ritual to summon a spirit to the weapon
The advantage that spiritual weapons had was their ability to evolve with the user
When your strength increases, you will have to throw away your old weapon and search for a new weapon that suits your strength
But spiritual weapons are completely different. When your level increases, the power of your weapon will increase with you
Because the soul inside the weapon is connected to you and develops with you. All it takes is to make some modifications to the physical part to increase its strength in this regard
In addition to the fact that these weapons are intelligent, they can help their user when needed. They were like a companion who will help you until the end
Alexander wanted to have such a weapon. But he never had the opportunity to obtain such a treasure
Even Molesh who had a strong spirit could not fulfill his request
I specialize in seals and talismans. Therefore, the error rate would be high if I tried to make a spiritual weapon. It would be a shame to waste these rare materials on something that is not guaranteed... This is what Molesh told him, shattering Alexander's dreams.
Alexander had made many potions before, but he had never tried making a spiritual weapon
So he decided to try just once
What if I was a genius in making weapons... With this thought, Alexander began searching for a suitable weapon to begin his plan
He didn't want to waste money on making a new weapon. So he decided to use a weapon found in Theodore's room
Dragon blood spear
Alexander sneaked into Theodore's room and examined the spear
This spear was made of strong metal and coated with the blood of a monster
Alexander could not determine what kind of blood this was. Is this spear made of the blood of a true dragon?
Ordinary humans might not be able to sense it, but Alexander, who possessed a strong soul, could sense the power of this blood
This is the perfect weapon he can use
Once he has obtained the physical part, the most difficult part remains, which is summoning the spirit
The failure rate is high, and according to the records he read, the physical part would often be destroyed if the ritual failed
This made most people hesitate to make spiritual weapons, especially if it was a high-level weapon made from rare materials
Like Molesh said, that would be a waste
But Alexander had received this spear for free, so he would not bother worrying about this matter
Even if the spear is destroyed, he will return it to Theodore's room and pretend that he does not know anything
Alexander began a ritual to summon the spirit
You must make a sacrifice to tempt one of the powerful spirits
He decided to use an entire bottle of the spiritual potion he had made
When Elena found out about this, she objected, accusing Alexander of being crazy
| How could you waste such a wonderful dose like this? Lightning must come down from the sky and kill you.| Elena protested
Alexander nodded at her words
Then he sealed her using talismans
He didn't care about her opinion at all
When the ritual passed successfully, Alexander was eager to see the result
He did not feel the presence of any soul inside the spear
This didn't worry him
He tried to communicate with the spirit inside the spear but got no results
Even when Alexander tried to entice this spirit to communicate with him using a bottle containing more of the spiritual potion, he did not receive a response
This made Alexander feel sad
He wasted a bottle of spiritual potion in this ritual but failed in the end
Elena snickered when she saw Alexander fail
She warned him, but he was stubborn
Alexander quietly returned the spear to Theodore's room without anyone knowing
He wasn't worried about anyone discovering the fact that he had tampered with this spear
But now Theodore wants this spear to be transported to the capital
This spear contained some traces of the spiritual potion he used in the ritual
Ordinary people will not be able to discover this spiritual power
However, there was a possibility that there was a powerful person in the capital who could sense this energy
This person will ask...where did this energy come from?
Then all eyes will be on the Ford family, and Alexander will be under the microscope as well
These may just be random thoughts that will never happen in reality
The reason for all these thoughts is that he was the very cautious type who tries to anticipate the worst outcome and tries to avoid it or mitigate its effects as much as possible.
If the result is good then he will naturally be happy
It would be bad if a new disaster happened because of him
