“The late general, General Avlantine…” Druid Oz muttered the name of the late general of the Galhala Kingdom.

“S-So you knew…” (The Galhala King)

“Yes. When I try to fill up myself about the Eastaria continent from the small library on his house, I found his diary and read about your majesty’s, prime minister, Allomere, and the late general’s journey… Forgive me for reading it without your consent…” (Druid Oz)

“No, it’s fine. It’s not a secret and the reason why I asked you to live there, for the time being, is that I hoped you will give found that diary and read it. But who ever thought that you will read that book on your first day,” said the Galhala King with a wry smile.

“Well, I immediately got imprisoned in the same prison as before after reading inside that library for a couple of hours, though,” said Druid Oz with a shrug.

“HAHAHA! Please forgive Allomere for that, he doesn’t mean harm,” (The Galhala King)

“So? What did you think about the contents of the diary,” Asked the Galhala King.

“…..” Druid Oz stays closed his eyes and say silent for a while as he once again organizes the puzzle pieces inside of his head.

“In my opinion, the diary is not completed, he died before he could write the whole story. It’s whether something happened that he can’t write it, or he’s tired of writing his diary, but the highest probability is… He died before he could complete it… Am I right?” Asked Druid Oz.

“And what leads you to that conclusion?” Asked the Galhala King.

“At first, as to how the diary stated, the late general is suspicious about the prime minister, Allomere. He said that he caught some suspicious actions from the prime minister, so he’s going to find for more evidence whether this old friend of his is going to bring unwanted danger to the kingdom before he’ll report it to you,” (Druid Oz)

“The diary stopped at that point, so at that moment, I also got my doubts with the prime minister, Allomere, and trusted the diary, and I haven’t realized yet that the diary is still incomplete,” (Druid Oz)

“Well, Allomere indeed has the character and personality that more than suitable to be a villain, though- Ouch! What is it, dear?” The Galhala Queen strikes the Galhala King’s stomach with her elbow.

“It’s inappropriate to talk behind your friend like that, you’re a king, dear,” Scolded the Galhala Queen.

“Ugh… Sorry…” Apologized the Galhala King as if he’s a kid that just got scolded by his mother.

“Ah. Please continue, Lord Ren,” said The Galhala King.

“Since I got my doubts, it’s right at that time that the prime minister, Allomere, instructed the soldiers to capture and imprison me at the royal palace, again,” (Druid Oz)

“C-Could you please don’t say ‘again’… It made me feel bad… Please forgive me, R-Ren…” said Claria with a wry smile.

“Ah, I’m sorry. I was just teasing you, please forgive me, your highness,” Druid Oz apologized indifferently.

“You…” (Claria)

The Galhala Queen slightly laughed when she saw Claria’s reaction.

“Continuing. Inside the cell, I got too curious with the prime minister, Allomere, and I thought that he might scheme for something towards the kingdom so I summoned these little friends of mine, *Flick*” Druid Oz flicked his hands, and his summoned insects appeared above the table.

“Whoa!!” Claria shouted as she jumped back when she saw the summoned insects.

“Sis… How pathetic… And you say you’re a general?” (Charnia)

“Shut up, stupid Charnia…” said Claria as she pinched her little sister’s cheeks.

“Ah… I indeed saw them inside the royal throne back then, so it’s really you, huh…?” Muttered the Galhala King.

“Yes, your majesty. I summoned them and used them as my eyes and ears in order to see the situation inside the royal throne room. I also engrave some magic circles on the ministers’ clothes and summoned the same flower I gave you before,” (Druid Oz)

“The Alianza flower…” Muttered the Galhala King as the flower that could discern between enemies and allies of the one who holds the main flower entered the Galhala King’s mind.

“Precisely. Since I knew you’re holding that flower behind your robe, I summoned the flowers at the ministers to determine whether they’re hostile towards the kingdom or not,” (Druid Oz)

“But when I summoned the flower at the prime minister, the color turns out to be blue. At that time, I became sure that the diary is incomplete, and that the matter with prime minister Allomere is just a misunderstanding. And that’s also the time where I realized that the ministers behind the prime minister are hostile towards the kingdom,” (Druid Oz)

“So you rushed towards the royal castle’s throne room because of that, huh… If you didn’t come back then, they might have killed Allomere and me by threatening us with Charnia’s life, once again, please let me thank you, Lord Ren,” said the Galhala King as he slightly bowed towards Druid Oz.

“P-Please don’t bow your head, your majesty. I just did the thing that other people will also do, it’s nothing special,” (Druid Oz)

“Heheh! You’re too humble to point that I can’t believe that you’re an emperor of a foreign empire,” (The Galhala King)

“You could just take it as the humility of a sovereign. But…” (Druid Oz)

“But?” Asked the Galhala King as he saw Druid Oz furrowed his brows.

“If my deduction is right, then the late general is killed by someone in this kingdom, right after he clears his misunderstanding with the prime minister, Allomere, right? Since you know about the diary so the both of you must have known about his doubts too. I believe the reason why he said that the prime minister’s actions are suspicious is that he’s trying the kingdom from the shadows which is the misunderstanding of the late general, and when the late general is investigating it, he found another case with another person and died because of that, am I right?” Asked Druid Oz.

“I-I never thought you would be able to conclude all of that just by deducting based on the limited information you have, Lord Ren… It’s such a shame that I can’t have someone like you under me… But yes, your words are true, because of that, our friend, Avlantine, died,” (The Galhala King)

“Since the three of you came after retiring from being the guardians, the suspects that the late general thought as suspicious is must be members of the guardians too since if it’s not, he would be able to process and investigate it without having to secretly investigate it from the shadows…” (Druid Oz)

“Y-You even knew about the suspects… Lord Ren… You might even more of a genius than Allomere… Even Allomere needs weeks to be able to arrive at that conclusion…” Muttered the Galhala King.

“Y-You flattered me, your majesty…” (Druid Oz)

“But your words are true. Allomere also stated the same thing, and my wife and I believe that his words are very logical and make sense. We’ve warned the leader of the guardians about this before, but we still haven’t found out who the real culprit who is the cause of the late general’s death until now…” The Galhala King’s face darkens as he remembered the face of his old friend.

“I see…” Druid Oz once again dives into his deep thoughts.

!!!??

“Galhala King,” (Druid Oz)

“Hm?” (The Galhala King)

“The guardians… The suspect is one of the guardians… And you’ve warned the leader of the guardians… Galhala King. Do the guardians didn’t know about the appearance of the demons in the Eastaria continent?” Asked Druid Oz.

“I don’t know, I’ve sent some mail birds to sent my warning towards the guardians, but there is no reply until now… Geez… They sure lost their sharp- Lord Ren, what do you mean…?” Asked the Galhala King as his expression stiffens.

“I believe the prime minister Allomere also thought the same thing as I do, Galhala King. As the guardians of the Eastaria continent, I believe the guardians spread their wings across the continent and oversee it day and night to make sure no danger or catastrophe will fall towards the continent. But if the guardians didn’t know about the appearance of the demons despite the obvious appearance of the demonic mana then…” (Druid Oz)

“Then…?” (The Galhala King)

“It’s whether the culprit behind it is the guardians, or the guardians are also under the same danger as this kingdom…” (Druid Oz)

“Guards! Call Allomere here! I need him now!” (The Galhala King)
