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 content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

  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
