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

  Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

  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
