"..." Alexander stood in front of the palace gate as he watched Theodore and those with him get out of the luxury car carrying them.
He preferred to wait inside the palace, but Alfred dragged him here, saying that he should meet Theodore at the gate
Theodore calmly led the group
" Father." Alexander smiled, greeting his father with a neutral expression
"Alexander." Theodore nodded. All that came out of his mouth was his son's name
It was a strange family reunion for outsiders like David and Elliot
"How are you, Alexander?" David patted Alexander's head and smiled sweetly.
"..." Alexander remained silent, looking at David with strange eyes
After several seconds, he clapped his hand lightly, looking at David in shock. "Uncle David!"
"..." The corner of David's mouth twitched
They met countless times
Why does it seem as if Alexander forgot who I am for a moment?
They met about two months ago. Does this boy suffer from Alzheimer's?
"Let's go in." Theodore quickly entered the palace
Alfred was walking right behind him
Everyone sat in a spacious room prepared to receive guests
Alfred stood behind Theodore, leaning forward slightly and whispering something in Theodore's ear
Theodore's expression was gray and he did not hide his annoyance
Alexander sat quietly, staring at Theodore's face
When will they realize there's no point in keeping the spear away from me?
After Alfred finished speaking, he stood up straight behind his master
Theodore looked at Alexander
Their eyes met for a moment, but Alexander looked away
Theodore spoke. "We suspect that there is a ghost controlling this spear."
It was difficult for Theodore to accept that these words had come out of his mouth, because of their absurdity
But the problem is that this is the only explanation they came up with after a lot of thinking
" ghost?!." Alexander's eyes widened
"Actually..." David looked at Elliot. "It was Elliot who came up with that explanation."
"Really?." There was an unnoticeable smile on Alexander's face
Others will not notice this smile
But to Elliot, who was closely examining all of Alexander's facial expressions, this was a smile of sarcasm and mockery.
This motherfucker... Elliot clenched his hands tightly as he resisted the urge to punch Alexander's provocative face
Elliot's plan was simple
If Alexander is not arrested, I will not be arrested
Therefore, I must keep Alexander away from suspicion if I want to protect myself as well
The ideal way to do this is to make Alexander a victim
So Elliot tells them that there is a possibility that a ghost was targeting Alexander
Thus, they will not suspect him or Alexander, and at the same time their eyes will be directed towards another person, the ghost who controls this spear.
It is true that he was trying to protect himself, but he was... very angry
He was the one who had to clean up this whole mess, while the main culprit of everything that happened sitting here pretending to be innocent
" is there a problem?." whispered Maria, who was sitting in the seat next to Elliot
"No…" Elliot replied in a low voice, "Why do you ask?"
"Because you were looking at Alexander as if you wanted to bury him alive."
"..." Was that so clear?
Elliot closed his eyes and tried to calm himself

Maria couldn't tell what kind of relationship these two had
According to Alexander, they became friends
But Maria felt that they were more like partners involved in a crime together
This feeling increased when she noticed Elliot's murderous look
They are like friends and enemies at the same time
"In this case, what should we do?" David asked
"I suggest we enlist the help of Saint Ner." Maria answered
"I think this is the best solution, sir." Alfred interjected formally. "The Saint and the Young Master are close friends."
Alfred took advantage of the situation to reveal the relationship between Alexander and Ner
"A friend with the saint?" Theodore looked at Alexander in shock
" Yes." Alexander answered briefly
David's breathing increased for a moment
This was big news
The saint was present in the temple all the time
How could Alexander build a relationship with her?
Did they know each other before this girl became a saint?
Many possibilities began to run through David's head
"In that case we will take the spear to the temple." Theodore made his decision."
-----------------
They arrived at the temple half an hour after they left
It was a majestic white building that expressed the sanctity of this place
Biko was standing at the entrance of the palace with some paladins to greet them
Theodore made sure to inform the temple officials that he wanted to visit the temple for something necessary
Temple officials welcomed this visit
Biko and Theodore shook hands and exchanged greetings, then entered a closed room deep in the temple
Biko looked at Alexander suspiciously
Why is this boy carrying this spear?
Alexander was holding the Dragon Blood Spear with a bored look on his face, as if he was being forced to do something against his will.
Theodore noticed Biko's skeptical look towards the spear
"Cough, actually the matter is..." Theodore began to tell him what happened with them
Biko listened to him quietly at first
But his expression changed as Theodore continued to speak
He looked at Alexander strangely
He heard about the legends of Alexander
Canceling the engagement with the royal family
attempt to suicide
Alexander's crazy behavior
Ghost attack on the Ford family mansion
And now there's this haunted spear
Is this young man a magnet for trouble?
"Why is this spear specifically targeting Alexander?" Biko asked, examining Alexander
Did the ghost find something in this young man?
From the view of the place around Alexander's room, it seemed as if ghosts were trying to enter Alexander's room
But something stopped them
This increased his suspicions about Alexander, but he had no evidence and could not interrogate Alexander because he belonged to a noble family.
However, strange events continue to happen around him
There's something fishy about this boy
A petty smile appeared on Alexander's face. "What if he was a crazy stalker before he died and became a ghost, hahaha..haha..cough."
Alexander laughed, but he started coughing when he saw that no one was laughing at his joke
Come on guys, I'm trying to lighten the mood and you're doing this to me
You don't have any sense of humor
Everyone looked at Alexander with blank faces
They were facing disaster
They don't know what kind of entity is inside the spear
It may be an entity that poses a danger to Alexander and those around him
However, Alexander was making silly jokes, unaware of the time bomb he was holding in his hands.
"I will inform the Saint about this matter." Biko left the room when he sensed the awkward feeling in the room
He was not happy to help someone like Alexander who was trying to take advantage of his relationship with the Saint
However, it was his duty to protect innocent people from danger
Although Alexander was a frivolous and arrogant child in his eyes, he did not deserve to die at the hands of an evil spirit
In addition, the saint will be sad
-----------------
One of the priests took them to a huge hall
Where Biko and Ner were waiting for them
Ner was wearing a white robe that covered her entire body with the temple symbol on the robe
Ner waved when she saw Alexander
Alexander waved in response
Theodore and David noticed the gesture
Are they really friends?
This made Theodore think deeply about what he should do to build a relationship with this chosen one
Alexander stood in the middle of the hall while Ner stood in front of him
Biko told them they would check on Alexander first
Ner reached out her hand hesitantly, but stopped midway
She had to touch Alexander to activate her ability
Why am I so hesitant?..... Ner asked herself with trembling eyes
"You can do it." Alexander smiled and encouraged her
"..." She felt as if he was treating her like a child taking his first steps
After several seconds, she was able to place her finger on his chest
She closed her eyes and activated her ability
After a full minute, she opened her eyes and said. " nothing."
Everyone exhaled in relief
If there was a ghost inside Alexander it would pose a big problem
Ten minutes later the spear was placed on a table in the middle of the hall
There was a serious expression on Ner's face
Biko told her that there was a ghost controlling this spear and haunting Alexander
She immediately thought of that entity that Themas had sensed inside Alexander's room
This ghost was haunting Alexander
Was Alexander not aware of this?
Ner's mind started racing as she tried to put the pieces together to see the full picture
She exhaled to calm her mind and then touched the spear with her eyes closed
After several seconds, she opened her eyes in confusion
"Is there a problem, Saint?" Biko asked when he noticed her unusual behavior
"This...are you sure there is a ghost inside the spear?" Ner asked Theodore
"We are sure." Theodore replied, "This spear moved from the capital to Cairn City within fifteen minutes. The only explanation for this is that there is a ghost inside the spear."
' Themas.' Ner asked her master for help
| I checked this spear as well but didn't notice anything strange.| Themas answered calmly
'Then why does this spear move on its own?'
| Even I don't know.| Themas sighed. She had seen a lot of strange things lately
Even though she had lived for thousands of years, she could not explain what had happened
Everyone was waiting for Ner to finish purifying this spear
She felt pressure from the eyes looking at her
She wants to escape as quickly as possible
She turned towards them submissively and said. "I didn't notice any soul in this spear."
"What...what, but we're sure that..." Theodore stammered
He didn't expect to get this answer
Ner shook her head. "She said she found nothing strange about the spear."
Everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva
They knew who Ner was talking about when she said 'she'
Ner was talking about Themas
Even Themas was unable to spot this ghost
Does this mean that there is no ghost inside this spear?
Theodore, Maria, and David began to suspect that there was a ghost in this spear
Alexander and Elliot were standing behind the group
The two of them were trembling after hearing Near's words
Sirens began to sound in Elliot's mind
Even Themas could not find this ghost
Elliot grabbed Alexander's shoulder and looked at him terrified with saying eyes. 'What kind of entity did you summon on earth?'
Alexander shook his head forcefully, 'I don't know either.'
Elliot wanted to strangle him immediately
Why make all this mess if you're not sure what kind of entities you're dealing with
