Chapter 100: The girl has a family... What is it? (2)
"The Folt family—they've completely collapsed. Was that your doing, by any chance?"
"?"
"Hmm, I suppose not."
"I didn’t even say anything yet...."
"One look at your face is enough to know. That’s a refreshingly straightforward expression, befitting a true knight. Hahaha."
"...Hey, old man, that wasn’t a compliment, was it?"
"Hahaha."
The Folt family. To be precise, it was only Raynol Folt, his wife, and their one remaining daughter. They barely deserved to be called nobility, and as people, they were contemptible.
"I looked for them, but they seem to have vanished. Do you know anything about that?"
Over the past week, Ihan had been searching for the Folt family. More specifically, he was hunting Raynol Folt—the beast who could only masquerade as a person. But Raynol was nowhere to be found, and Ihan was growing increasingly frustrated. So when the marquis dropped this hint, Ihan’s curiosity was piqued.
The marquis shrugged nonchalantly under Ihan’s questioning gaze.
"Just a little curiosity led me to investigate. According to our inquiries, Raynol Folt only had one daughter—so why did it suddenly become two? And just five years ago, at that. Quite curious, wouldn’t you say? Not only did he gain a daughter out of nowhere, but he also tried to marry her into a marquisate. What audacity, as if he thought Tristan would be easy to fool."
