59- How did the spear get here?

  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

  The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

  "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
