Maria and Elliot arrived in Cairn after a full day of travel
Elliot wanted to rest for a while
But Maria refused and dragged him directly to the palace
She wanted to investigate this case as quickly as possible
A look of exhaustion appeared on Elliot's face
He traveled for a whole day without rest
And now he has to meet this bastard, Alexander
He felt strongly that Alexander had caused this incident
The question is why he did this stupid thing
Alexander sat on one of the chairs in the library while Maria and Elliot sat across from him
Elliot looked at Alexander sternly. His look was like, 'What the hell did you do this time?'
Alexander looked at him with innocent eyes that said. 'I swear on the souls of my sixteen ancestors that I have done nothing...at least this time.'
'Do you want me to believe your bullshit?' Elliot's frown deepened as his face distorted
“...” Maria felt like she was getting in their way
They looked at each other without speaking
But their facial expressions and looks made it clear that they understood what each of them was thinking, as if they were using telepathy. This was an amazing level of relationship
Since when have these two had such a strong relationship?
Elliot was as polite to Alexander as he was to everyone
But their relationship was very superficial
She didn't expect them to become this close in such a short period of time
Maria felt that many things had happened this month
" cough." Maria interrupted them. She didn't want to stay out of the conversation. “You said you didn't notice anyone entering your room.”
" Yes." Alexander nodded
Elliot looked at her. “I checked the surveillance cameras and did not find anyone entering or leaving the palace.”
Maria put her hands on her chin. “Alfred said he found the spear inside your room when he entered the room.”
Alexander narrowed his eyes
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Alfred?
They were a group of servants, not just Alfred
They seem to be trying to avoid interrogation
Alexander did not know why they had come to his room at such a late hour
But he did not doubt them
He knows all these servants and they are all loyal to the Ford family and some of them raised Alexander
They wouldn't do anything to hurt Alexander. So he won't point out that a whole group broke into his room so as not to get them into trouble
“That's right, I was asleep when Alfred came to check on me, then I woke up to find the spear in my room.” Alexander answered meekly
Maria fell into deep thought. “But why would the thief bother to steal the spear, risking his life, and then move it to your room?” No matter how much Maria thought about it, she couldn't come up with a suitable answer
She is used to dealing with things logically
But it will not be able to deal with random matters that do not follow a specific path because of the difficulty of predicting their results
She didn't understand why the thief was acting like this or what result he wanted to reach
“Can we take the spear and leave?” Elliot wanted to leave as quickly as possible
He didn't want to stay here for a second
Who knows what Alexander can do
Elliot can confidently bet with one of his kidneys that Alexander was somehow involved in this case
This scammer still wears a mask of innocence despite everything he's done
You may be able to fool others, but you cannot fool me
" you are right." Maria agreed with his words
Theodore ordered her to bring the spear to the capital
They took the spear and left without saying any more words
Alexander was looking at them through the window with deep eyes
He was waiting for something to confirm his thoughts
--------------------
I feel like I will die
Eliot has reached his limit
He had traveled for two consecutive days and wanted nothing more than to throw himself on a comfortable bed and dive into the world of dreams
But Maria insisted on going to her father directly after they arrived in the capital
Elliot didn't want to show weakness in front of her, so he decided to endure in silence
They transported the box containing the spear to the mansion owned by the Ford family in the capital
Theodore and David were waiting at the door to greet them
" Father ." Maria got out of the car and stood in front of her father like a soldier who had completed her mission
Theodore smiled and put his hand on her shoulder. "You did your best."
Maria smiled at his compliment. “It's all for the family.”
Theodore nodded satisfied
Maria always lived up to his expectations
He even considers her better than Lucas in terms of her leadership and social skills
If she had been a male, he would have made her the heir to the family without the slightest hesitation.
She does her best even though she knows Theodore won't give her much
Theodore sighed as he opened the box that was placed on the table
The spear was firmly lodged in the box
It is not yet known how this spear was stolen
After this event ends, and when things stabilize and the rumors disappear, he will make sure to find that thief and make him pay the price.
"Okay, this problem has been solved." David patted Theodore's shoulder once
He was relieved that this problem had been resolved
He was present at the time of the robbery. So it would be embarrassing if news started spreading about this
“I will invite you to my palace to celebrate. I will not accept any refusal.” David crossed his arms with a stubborn expression
Theodore laughed lightly at his friend's actions
He knew David was trying to calm the tense atmosphere
Theodore shook his head. "Okay. I won't refuse your offer. But let's move this spear to—"
The words choked in Theodore's throat as he turned to the box
The box was empty
Maria, David and Elliot looked at the box with disbelieving eyes
Wasn't the spear here a few moments ago?
Have we been robbed again?
None of them spoke for several seconds
They were staring at the box
"The Hell!." Elliot cursed, not caring about those present
-----------------
Alexander was sitting in the library, flipping through the pages of a chemistry book
After a few moments, he sighed and closed the book
His mind was preoccupied with what had happened previously
The spear returned to his room after being transported to the capital
This was proof that he had turned into a spiritual weapon that possessed consciousness
Since it is a spiritual weapon, it will return to its owner automatically
But why couldn't he feel any spiritual bond between them?
Why does the weapon not respond when I try to communicate with it?
Well....it doesn't matter. I was able to obtain a spiritual weapon in the end
He was happy with this happy surprise
But how did he succeed?
Even spiritual experts cannot be sure of their success with one attempt
Talent in crafting spiritual weapons?
This is nothing but absolute nonsense
Making spiritual weapons requires years of training, accumulated experience, and knowledge that a person gathers from books or dialogue with other experts.
even if you have strong spiritual power and the ability to communicate with spirits, you will not be able to do anything if you do not obtain sufficient knowledge in this field.
This was what made him shocked when he thought about the possibility of him succeeding in creating a spiritual weapon in one attempt
If the Spiritual Path Masters knew about it, they might catch him and dissect him
crack! crack!
A cracking sound interrupted Alexander's thoughts
He looked at the source of this sound to find that there was a maid who was looking at him in horror
No, she wasn't looking at him, she was looking behind him
Alexander turned his head and could imagine what made this maid act like this
There was a red spear resting on the wall behind him
Here we go again
