Chapter 109: Meeting The Duchess (1)
Commander Fred had returned to the duchy a day after the incident, hoping Caleb would have already made his appearance. But that was not the case.
He could only face his mistress and hope that Caleb would eventually show up. It’s been four days since the incident, and there was still no word from Caleb.
Duchess Silvia Erindor was in her office, going over work as usual. From time to time, she would call her commander to find out about Caleb, but there was still no news of him.
’Hah... I can’t believe Fred of all people lost a person like that.’ Silvia sat back in her chair, her gaze lingering on the ceiling of her office. ’I wonder what he’s up to.’
She recalled the things Fred told her about Caleb, further solidifying her desire to have Caleb all to herself. The duchess realized the Royals were also actively searching for Caleb.
Some officials from the Crownlands arrived two days ago, and the duchess had to host them while they carried out their mission.
These officials even visited the Genesis Guild in hopes of finding anything useful about Caleb. The only thing they learnt was that he had been seen with a particular party that was dissolved about a month ago.
They managed to get a name and even found some of the former members of the party, questioning them and learning all they could about Caleb.
Naturally, this was something the duchess herself had done some time back, going as far as investigating the town Caleb came from; this time focusing on the person instead of his crimes.
’He’s completely changed ever since that incident with those goons, huh.’ Silvia mused thoughtfully. ’It’s like he became a completely different person.’
The duchess wasn’t sure how true that was and she didn’t care. All she wanted was to understand the kind of person Caleb was. From the looks of things, that seems to be unlikely.
