Chapter 91
Of course, there were scrolls in green boxes in both Warehouse 113 and Warehouse 241. Those scrolls had already been repositioned so that even if they were used at the banquet, no accidents would occur.
‘But those scrolls had marks only I could recognize.’
When the projection of Kairo disappeared, the original scroll should have required five hand waves, but the scroll from Warehouse 113 required only four, and the one from Warehouse 241 required six.
‘That way, I could tell not only whether the scrolls were swapped, but also which group was behind it.’
If I had divided them into more groups, I could have checked more thoroughly, but due to time constraints, splitting them into two was the best I could do.
‘There’s no way anyone could have swapped all of them alone. They obviously needed cooperation from the Education Ministry staff moving the scrolls...’
In other words, if there was a mole in the Scroll Department feeding information, the Education Ministry would act on it.
I took a deep breath to calm my heart.
I had set this trap expecting there to be a mole, but seeing the results with my own eyes still made my heart drop.
‘Did I go through more stress than I realized because of this? My stomach’s been queasy all day.’
My nausea, which had started yesterday, grew worse. I forced it down and leaned in to whisper into Kiaros’s ear.
“Your Highness.”
