The servants moved through the palace corridors with cautious steps
Each of them was carrying something
Alfred carried a statue of Apollo, while Beatrix carried a broom
Thompson drew his sword as he led the group, and Michael was walking behind, carrying a bowl containing some salt
whispered one of the maids. "Why salt?"
Michael answered in a low voice. "Salt repels spirits...or at least that's what one of the books I read says."
Everyone stood in front of Alexander's room
Thompson turned to them. "Our plan is simple. We will break into the room, tie up Alexander, search for that haunted doll, and burn it." Thompson spoke quickly and scanned everyone's faces to make sure they understood the plan
Everyone nodded as they prepared for the upcoming confrontation
They never imagined that they would form a band to conquer ghosts
The recent experience had made their hearts stronger
They will try to defeat this ghost with everything they can
Alfred opened the door slowly
Cliiiiiik!
An annoying creak came from the door
Everyone looked at Beatrix
Didn't you say that you brought a new door after destroying the old one?
Beatrix was grinding her teeth at that annoying sound
Is it possible that this damned ghost makes the doors make such annoying sounds?
Beatrix blamed the ghost directly
The door opened completely and they could see Alexander's room
The room was completely dark
Alfred reached out and turned on the lights
The room was normal and they could see Alexander sleeping peacefully in his bed
But soon their attention was drawn to one corner of the room
There was a red spear with golden inscriptions leaning on the corner
"..." Everyone held their breath at the sight of this spear
They were all thinking of one thing
What the hell is this spear doing here?
------------
I woke up when I felt someone entering my room
Even when I'm asleep, my senses monitor my surroundings in case there's danger in the shadows
I opened my eyes and saw that the lights were on
This means that the person who entered the room did not intend to sneak in
I raised my back and saw that a group of servants were standing at the door
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
"What are you doing up this late?" I asked dissatisfiedly
This was the only time I could sleep and rest to get rid of the burdens of life
So I will not tolerate anyone disturbing my sleep time
But despite my question, no one answered me
I noticed that they were looking at something in horror and confusion
I turned my gaze to where they were looking
I saw a beautiful red spear resting on the wall
I couldn't take my eyes off that spear
"..." What is this spear doing here?
-------------------
"Is there any news about the location of the spear?" David was sitting in a large hall, looking at Theodore, who was moving back and forth
"No… the cameras did not detect anything strange." Theodore was holding back his anger
David sighed. He knew what Theodore was going through.
What happened was extremely embarrassing
They were both among the strongest warriors in the world
But this spear was stolen right under their noses
They found no trace of the thief. So they had to enlist the help of the Imperial Intelligence Agency
The Imperial forces began searching directly for the target. This would be a useful help, but the problem was that the news would spread everywhere
Other families are already starting to hear some news about what happened
Intelligence agents were trying to cover up what happened. But this does not mean that there are not people from other families working within the intelligence
David rubbed his temple as he thought about getting himself out of this mess
Trrrrrn!
The sound of a phone broke the silence of the room
Theodore took out his phone with an eager look
But soon disappointment appeared on his face
"Who?" David asked curiously
"It's Alfred." Theodore sighed in annoyance
He thought for a moment that the intelligence had found the thief and recovered the spear, which would save him a lot of rumors
"The butler who serves your family?"
Theodore did not answer. He seems to be contemplating whether he should answer or ignore this call.
"I think you should answer. He won't call you if it's not something urgent." David advised him
Theodore shook his head. He had been receiving a lot of calls from Alfred lately due to the chaos taking place in Cairn City
In the beginning there were rumors about Alexander's strange behavior, which caused him a lot of embarrassment
Then Robin Hood appeared, which caused him a political crisis with many noble families who accused him of negligence in protecting the city's security, and their accusations increased in severity after the police forces failed to arrest that criminal.
When he wondered how things could get worse
Ghosts attacked Cairn City
Theodore was shocked when he learned this news from television
I left town for less than one month
How did all this happen in such a short period?
Has there been a new problem?... Theodore swallowed fearfully as he thought about the reason for this call
Theodore's hand holding the phone trembled
Please, Alfred, I won't be able to bear another blow
Theodore prayed in his heart that he would not receive new disastrous news
He answered the phone and put it near his ear. "Is there a problem, Alfred?"
Despite his inner anxiety, Theodore's tone carried majesty and sternness
After several seconds, Theodore's calm expression broke and his face turned stupid. "Huh? Repeat what you said?"
Theodore wanted to make sure that what he heard was true
David got up from his seat and looked at Theodore seriously
He knows the problems going on in the city ruled by the Ford family
Alexander's stupid actions, Robin Hood, ghost attack
All of these were things that caused a lot of pressure on Theodore
Now it seems that there are more problems
What will happen now?
He wouldn't be surprised if aliens attacked Cairn City
Theodore hung up the phone and there was a look of incomprehension on his face
" What happened?." David urged him to talk
"They found the spear in Alexander's room." Theodore answered as if he was unable to believe what he heard
"What?..." David was shocked
He didn't expect that Alfred would find the spear
Did he say inside Alexander's room?
He naturally knew who Alexander was
The relationship between their families was good
Therefore, they often visit each other or meet on many occasions
The relationship between Alexander and Seraphina was very good and they could be considered childhood friends
He even thought of proposing to Theodore that Alexander and Seraphina marry to strengthen the relationship of the two families
But Alexander was a bit of a disappointment and did not have the fighting talent of his younger brother, or the intelligence and skill of his older sister.
So David decided not to open this topic with Theodore
"But how did the spear get there?" David did not understand why the thief had put the spear in Alexander's room
"I don't know that either." Theodore was looking at the ground and thinking deeply
"There are a lot of things that don't make sense...." David furrowed his brow. "Why did the thief put the spear in Alexander's room? No, how could the thief transport the spear to Cairn City so quickly?" David put his hand on his chin
" you are right." Theodore nodded at David's logical analysis
The distance between Cairn City and the Imperial Capital was great
Even using the fastest planes, it would take a full day to transport the spear
But the spear was stolen only three hours ago
The two looked at each other with skeptical looks on their faces
